Just go to the library and look up.
Before we ever came to Australia we were afraid of certain animals and one of those was bats. There’s a park near where we stayed in the beginning in Sydney that has huge bats that fly low over you and make noise and whatnot. Eventually, we got use to them and even started getting excited when we’d see new types of bats.
That said, we really thought it was cool that in Cairns, in the trees outside the library downtown, there’s a huge colony of large fruit bats. They just sit in the trees chilling and squeaking at birds. When the weather is hot, they’ll fan themselves with a wing.
If you’re in Cairns, check it out. Be warned though… it always smells terrible when there is a colony of bats around. -jp
