Malayan Flying Fox


The Malayan Flying Fox or fruit bat is the only mammal that can fly. Let us recall what are mammals. They are warm-blooded animals and the females have milk for their youngs.
These bats are feasting on the juicy red water-melon.
I can't imagine remaining upside down for most of the time. Or these bats are wondering why we like to remain upside down?

NB: I took the picture in Singapore Zoological Garden.
