This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Awesome lol
No banana for scale so how do we know how big it really is?
It is among the heaviest of all bat species, with individuals weighing up to 1.40 kg (3.1 lb).

Dinosaurs really had the jump on mammals in terms of time to evolve flying ability, but I've got faith more mammals can go that way.
Of all of the alien fauna I saw in Australia, seeing fruit bats fly over at dusk was the most memorable. (Finding engorged leeches between my toes was the second, and the emotion was quite different.)
I grew up around APAC and didn't realise how lame Batman was until I found out American bats are like little miniature rodent wannabe bats.
Psht. Didn’t even include a banana for scale.
The banana was for lunch
That is no bat, that is Tyldak.
Absolutely crazy how it looks like it could be your friend, to me at least.
Ain't nothing friendly there.
OK just saw your username, a fellow flying creature from hell.
Where's the golden part? Everyone of these I have seen have golden fur on their head.
