We were looking at a pride of Lions resting under the shade of some trees when we noticed a slight movement above. There, hanging in broad daylight, were two bats. This bat is 1 of 5 species of False Vampire Bats from Africa.

Thank you!! : ) I had never heard of, or had seen, these bats before either. But they were a great find (especially in broad daylight) and, in my opinion, they were kind of cute! Lol!

Amazing capture and terrific find! I would have thought they would be hiding in the dark somewhere!

They have these in California? I have never seen one especially in a tree during day light:-)

No, this specie of Bat was actually taken while we were in Africa. It was still a surprise to see them in broad daylight.
