Great shot! I first saw these bats in Nepal. when I spotted thes big pods hanging down from some trees. Thought it was fruit on the tree until one of them spread its wings! Just googled and these appear to be lesser dog-faced fruit bats. If this is lesser, I'd hate to see greater!!! Here's a link to some info. http://ecologyasia.com/verts/mammals/lesser_dog-faced_fruit-bat.htm You get my vote on this great shot Sabina.

actually i was told these are not bats.
they have them on lots of spots and they are not in the caves. they also see during the day, not like the bats...

and they call them flying dogs, because their "face" looks like the one of the dog :)
