Very, very alien-looking, no (sorry for the big pic)?

How cute! He does look unusual, but in a very endearing way.

Those are ridges! And here I was thinking they were shadows.

Thanks for answering my question. And thanks for wearing that intimidating avatar, mmm.

My pleasure! In addition to being intimidating, Captain Archer, Klingonized or not, is also dashingly handsome.

[jespah]

I like huggable aliens (and huggable starship Captains - rrowwwrrr at the avatar).

[ReedEnterprise]

Huggable aliens? I want one please

That's a bat? He is indeed very very cute.

Is this what the little guy is going to grow into?

I want a vegetarian bat or flying fox for a pet!!!!!

And I am also all about hugging aliens - like T'Pol

[jespah]

I, too, want a flying fox. Except I have to get past the part about screaming like Hoshi when bats fly around. We've had them in the house more than once. Mr. j takes care of the bat persuasion duties while I mainly cower catatonically and mumble incoherently, usually under a desk or chair or table.

[Miss Lemon]

^ Now that I'd like to see!



I took this pic in Sydney. There were many flying foxes/bats? just hanging around there in the middle of town, very surreal.

Why has my high school education failed me so badly? I never heard of a flying fox before and now I do not know how I can live without a flock of them in my backyard.
Great pictures!

[jespah]

Now there's a sweet face -

[Miss Lemon]

How can one tell the difference between a bat and a flying fox, I wonder...

[I am Surak]

I guess from the air the color would be an indication and up close all the bats I have ever seen are kinda pignosed and just not as cute.
I wonder if the natural rest position of the flying fox is hanging down or if they could be trained to sit on your shoulder like a parakeet.
"Arrrr -its a flying fox matey!"

Actually, the face kinda looks like a chihuahua (Aside from the eye color of course)

That I'd like to see as well!

[jespah]

I agree, Sindatur, they're kind of puppyish, too.

I am ready to watch all attempts to train a flying fox to sit on your shoulder, I am Surak. Please video and upload to Youtube.

Two things:
Both Mestral and I have been sending VHS tapes to Youtube Headquarters for many years and they have yet to put one on the air.

And I am currently house breaking the Sehlat cub I got from Teacake's Sehlat Rescue and Breeding Compound.

Once I find a way to apply pressure to Youtube management and Soval our Sehlat is housebroken I will start on the Flying Fox.

AND I have to type this as I am being watched: I will finish Mrs. Surak's Honey-do list before doing anything else.

[jespah]

Understood. Honey-do lists trump all. The fox flies at midnight. Over and out.
