Native to Australia, ghost bats are named for their pale, almost translucent wings that make them look ghostly in flight.

Unlike fruit bats, they're carnivorous, hunting birds, reptiles, and even other bats at night.

— I crave flesh, human!

It's not a flesh bat, it's a ghost bat. It eats ghosts.

I think this angry little furball doesn't look much like the Australian ghost batghost bat, it looks more like an insectivorous northern ghost batnorthern ghost bat, from the Americas.

Wicked cute, tho. Thanks for posting! As in for all your posts, they're really the best of the fediverse.

You are totally correct! I will replace the pic so the post is accurate. Thank you!

It is nice to see there are experts here. I know nothing about bat to so when OP makes a mistake I cannot see it.
Thank you both!

He knows he is to be feared.
