Cynopterus brachyotis - Lesser Short Nosed Fruit Bat
No idea how long I have been walking underneath this roost of bats. It is just a reminder that photographic opportunities occur all around, not just in front of you. They were just out of reach for some sharp images, and the ground was not suitable for a stool boost. Still, very happy for the opportunity to collect images of these beauties.
Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.
The lesser short-nosed fruit bat is a species of megabat within the Pteropodidae family. It is a small bat that lives in South and Southeast Asia and Indonesia which weighs between 21 and 32 grams that occurs in most habitats including lower montane forest, tropical lowland rainforest, gardens, mangroves, and vegetation on beaches.
