I had NO IDEA that fruit bats look so different to vampire bats!

supersonic [Edit] [Delete] 23:31, 23 July '08

Seriously, I'm absolutely amazed by this. There's a couple of bats flying around the garden now and I always presumed that fruit bats just looked the same as those repulsive vampire bats but without the teeth.

So I googled it and was amazed to find out that some of them look like cute little dogs with wings or something:
