Indian Flying Fox

A few days back I noticed these giant bats flying over my parents home in Ernakulam. They were coming from around the High Court area and headed in a south easterly direction. I had no clue what kind of bats these were, but had a hunch that they were probably coming from the Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary. After a little digging around on the web, I had the answer.

These bats are called the Indian Flying Fox, the largest bats in the world, and they reside at Mangalavanam.
