An old photo of a human-sized bat in the Philippines has resurfaced on Twitter, puzzling social media users. On June 24, a Twitter user with the handle @AlexJoestar622 shared an image of a giant golden-crowned flying fox hanging from a wire attached to the roof of a building. “Remember when I told y’all about the Philippines having human-sized bats?” the user asked. “Yeah, this was what I was talking about.” The photo, which first went viral on Reddit in 2018, has since received nearly 270,000 likes and more than 72,000 comments. “Just imagine this bat waking up and flying straight at you,” one user wrote in response. “I’d leave the country.” “This bat is taller than me and [I’m] both horrified and impressed in equal measure,” another added. “Dude that’s a vampire,” a third joked.
