Field Notes

Description:

This is a cute family of fruit bats that was always perched in the ceiling of our doorsteps in the cabin we were at in Sepilok. They would only be gone in the evenings but always were back in place by morning. One of them was a mom with a baby. In the third pic you can see the poor mom has some sort of lice on her head.

Habitat:

Sepilok, Sabah.

How cool! Great photos, Marta
Yes! I always checked if they were still there and as long as it was daytime they were :-)
What wonderful neighbors to have!
