Photo of huge bat with 'human-size' wingspan is giving people nightmares

mirror.co.uk:

A photo of a gigantic-looking bat has left social media users horrified - but it's not all quite as it seems. The images were shared on Twitter, showing a bat that looks like a human in the world's best fancy dress outfit or something from a horror movie we never want to see.

The post has had more than a quarter of a million likes and was captioned: "Remember when I told y'all about the Philippines having human-sized bats?

Yeah, this was what I was talking about." And although the bat pictured - thought to be a giant golden-crowned flying fox - is considered a megabat, many comments from people claiming the bat is "taller than me" are wide of the mark.
