Umm, what??? That's pointless...

These were filmed over the Royal Botanic Gardens in central Sydney. Fruit-bats like this fly in streams over my home at dusk on their way to feed, from their roosts in the mangroves growing in inlets around the harbour.//www.youtube.com/watch?v=1prpqy1PJSIDown here they are mostly the fairly small Grey-Headed Flying Foxes, with adult wingspans up to about 1m. But in tropical Australia, how do bats with wingspans up to 1.8m strike you?

They're not well built for striking me, but would probably use their wings :-)

Holy wow, they fly while carrying their young? I always thought that bats were amateur flyers compared to most birds, given their shorter evolutionary history, but I don't know of any bird that carries their young with them while in the air! Having claws on your wings must really help with that.
*adds 'flying foxes' to the list of animals that may eventually depose humans as the dominant species*
