While my friends and I were sitting in front of the house, I suddenly heard something fall under the mango tree. Out of curiosity, I started approaching the source of the sound, and it turned out to be a bat.Seeing this bat made all the hairs on my body stand on end. I have been very afraid of bats, even since I was a child. It had a very strange appearance, with dark brown to grayish-brown body fur and wide blackish-brown wing membranes.

After I searched for information about this bat on Google, it turned out that this was a fruit-eating bat. It is a nocturnal animal that is active at night and sleeps during the day.We also should not play with or intentionally handle a bat directly because it is a wild animal that can sometimes carry the risk of transmitting zoonotic diseases such as rabies.When I found this bat, I immediately photographed it from a safe distance. It was still alive, but for some reason, it had fallen to the ground while flying.
