Photohunters: Hanging
This giant bat was found in Disney's Animal Kingdom "Maharajah Jungle Trek." There were tons of the Giant Bats. Some very large and some just sort of large. This fellow was quite big and very close. I was taking pictures of some of his buddies further out and he dropped right in front of me to see what I was doing. He stayed very close for what seemed a long time just watching me. It was absolutely amazing!
Edited July 28, 2008 to add... Thanks so much to all those who had nice things to say about my bat. Someone asked about the stats on the photo. Those can be found here. He was directly above me no more than two feet from the top of my head.

Yikes, I can live without bats. Good photo.
A neat take on the theme. I have seen the fruit bats in Oz but that looks to be bigger
It was kind of creepy this bat looking at you for some minutes.
I don't think I could have stayed to take that photo of a bat that close. Good take on the theme.
Wow, that is a really awesome shot. Nice lighting and of course great take on the theme. Happy hunting!
Wow! I didn't know bats were furry like that! Great shot!
Nice Bats I think, bats are just weird. I'll pass on them
Merci du passage et du commentaire sur ma photo
Wow...that's an awesome close up photo of a bat! Great photography work!
Eeek! It would have made me very nervous to be that close to a bat, especially one that large. LOL!!
Thanks for visiting me today! Hope you come back to enter my giveaway starting Sunday.
ekkkk.... that's a huge one! I almost posted the picture of a family of bats that came to live in my front porch! :)
They are still living outside.
Wooooah, it does look like that bat was VERY close to you! :o

What a great picture! How lucky were you to get that shot? That's fabulous. It almost looks like a winged purse dog.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
That's wonderful! What a photo!
I love the idea of him watching you while you were watching him. :-) Cool!
Hahah bats are so under rated, they are such sweet creatures - Nice shot, what were the stats on that? Was he still enough to not use a tripod?
If you like animal photography check out our mascot Zizou the cat in action, its such a chance shot but its so funny.
