We saw quite a few of these proboscis bats while canoeing in Peru. More often than not, we didn’t see them until they flew to safety and landed on another tree. For this shot, however, I saw them coming, as we slowly and quietly drifted past. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1600, f/5.6 at 1/500th of a second, Godox V860iii fill flash.

Wow, they look to be part of the tree. Cool shot.
I don’t understand how the bats’ stance on boscis is relevant here. Whether they’re proboscis or antiboscis bats they’re equally gross looking.
Strong entry Louis, very strong.
