My friend the Bat.

This bat lives at the Body Works center. He fell out of a tree as a baby and has been raised by the folks there. He is a fruit bat. He's hand fed fruit all day long. I pet him, his skin is like silk. His wing span is about four feet. He's one of the most beautiful animals I have ever seen.

We became friends. I was fascinated by him.

He was posing for me.
