These creepee's are called fruit bats, or flying foxes because their faces resemble that of a fox. I guess they're found hanging all over the place in South Africa. They stopped for a quick road side lunch one day, sandwiches at a convenience place. Some, including emma-neez chose to sit outside in a gazebo type structure (top picture), as they settled in to eat their scrumptious meals, one of the guides pointed to the roof of where they were sitting and said ....just to let you know that those creatures above our heads are fruit bats!!! I think she took the picture and escaped. She said they looked to be about a foot long, the wing span can measure from wing tip to wing tip about 4 - 5 feet.

Nice pictures, Oh ick, I would escape from there too. I get the creeps when I find a bat hanging onto the side of my house in the spring. Love, gram
