| GIANT BAT MYSTERY |
This crazy picture of a giant bat showed up in an email not long ago. My friend Salem Mushref sent it to me with a message that read, "Hey bill , I got two interesting photos about a giant bat , I have no idea if it's real or not - maybe It will interest u". I wrote back and said, "Wow... that is huge! Yes it does interest me... you don't know where the pictures were taken?" "No idea some somebody posted on my facebook - but it looks like somewhere in South East Asia. Well, I started looking around trying to find out exactly what kind of bat this might be… I learned the biggest bats in the world are usually the one's known as the flying foxes. But the one in these pictures didn't look like an exact match with the flying fox. This was something else… but what? I looked and looked, but found nothing until finally I came across a website called cryptomundo… This is where I learned, much to my surprise, that the reason I couldn't find the source of this bat picture is because it isn't a bat at all.. it's actually what is known as a Colugo or Flying Lemur… They aren't truly part of the lemur family, but they are considered by some scientists to be the nearest relative of primates - you know as in monkeys and creatures like that. Found mostly in the rainforests of South East Asia, they are really not much bigger than a medium-sized possum or a large squirrel - and get this - they don't even have the ability to fly. They' re what are knowns as gliders. You can check out some great video at these links. Now what about that picture? If Colugo's are only the size of a possum then what's up with this one. Is it a strange mutation of or what? I really don't know. At first I thought it was one of those forced perspective pictures. The guy behind the colugo is standing father back than he appears and just holding his hand up. Notice it doesn't overlap the colugo. But then these other guys on this side are in front of it, and it still looks huge. So, I really don't know. Obviously there is more research to be done here… but I want to know what you think. Do you think these guys actually captured a giant coluga - or is this photoshopped somehow? Let me know in the comment section below!
