Baby Flying Fox - Bat Reach Centre - Kuranda - Queensland - Australia

Thank you :)

They don’t stay cute for long though haha…

Thanks conrad – great comment. Very pleased to have you favourite a photo :) Most people don’t get up close and personal to these guys, in fact some people fear them – but they’re absolutely (as you say) adorable!

You should definitely go see them if you’re ever here – very much worth it. From the responses here I might just go back and ask if I can do more up close and personal photos with the animals to get some better info out on these poorly understood mammals.

You’re kidding right? haha… poor wee cutey cutey bat… Awwww they’re cuter than anything – even when they’re big they’re still so cute!

haha… Not my hands in this photo :)

haha.. Thanks Kerryn :)

Thanks Pete – didn’t know the group existed – I might have a couple for that :)

Thanks Kimberleigh – most people don’t see bats as ‘cute’ – but they really are :)

Thank you so much for your kind comments Miesha – it’s funny you should comment on this today – because I went to the batreach centre today to say hi :) I know they used to be classified with primates – perhaps lemurs – but let’s face it – classifying is something humans do to create order – I have a hard time believing many of the modern classifications that are out there – and above all, these guys are so unique and amazing. Maybe they are monkeys with wings – but either way, I’m proud to see them in my city :)

Thank you so much Colleen :) I’m over the moon :)

haha… I fully agree!!! If you’re ever in the area you’d have to visit the centre :)
