May I request the kalong (Malaysian flying fox)?

Kalong (Pteropus vampyrus, formerly Pteropus giganteus) Also known as greater flying fox, Malayan flying fox, Malaysian flying fox, large fruit bat, kalang, or large flying fox, this bat species lacks the ability to echolocate (like other species from this genus), relying instead on its keen eyesight.

Fog the gray-headed flying fox, March 2023

I usually go for realism, but this time I tried making them as cute as I could... I just want people to like bats!! 

~planning sketch below the cut~

These body proportions were a lot more normal.... ^^; I struggled with the crochet for a while because their face didn't go quite how I planned and the rest seemed to follow suit... but when I added hair and a face they kind of became their own thing! I'd still like to attempt the original plan sometime though :P

.... should I tell Batman that his baby Bat is playing with my baby bat?

The grey-headed flying fox (pteropus poliocephalus) is the largest bat in Australia - their wingspan may reach up to 1 meter (around 3ft 3in).

They feed on nectar and pollen, as well as a variety of fruit, and play an important role in the propogation of these fruit species by distributing their seeds.

They are classified as Vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

Bonus fact: the grey-headed flying fox seems to be very faithful to the location in which they build their camp, some fox camps having been used for over a century!
