Tim and Kirsten Agee Just another weblog 
The blak bokis or fruit bat in English. This creature would be great in any Halloween show. His claws are nearly an inch long as he hangs upside down on our stalk of bananas. His wing span is an easy 24 inches but Tim is determined to find out for sure. He plans to catch one and cook it – apparently this is a common practice here! Just the sound of him coming in for a landing (whoop-whoop-whoop) is enough to make you shiver! Then when he lands and gets settled, his head swivels to look at you with those beady red eyes. What a sight!
