Batemans Bay, a town in Australia, has a super high batting percentage right now. Literally: 100,000 giant bats with 3-foot wingspans have taken over the town and won’t leave.

One of the residents told Sky News, “I can’t open the windows, I can’t use the clotheslines, it’s just, I can’t study because the noise just goes constantly. I can’t concentrate. It’s not fun.”

These creatures are called grey-headed flying foxes, and, according to animal rights groups, there’s not much the residents can do about it. The bats will just move on when they are ready to move on.

Look at these massive animals:

Flying foxes are adorable.

 

[Trojita]

Those first two words lmao.

Will they kill the spider menace?

 

[Azazzel]

It's time for the Australians to lose a war against bats.

 

[Username1198]

THey should get those asshole kangaroos to chase them out

I'm just waiting for the Shyamalan twist where we find out Australia is the result of some weird scientific experiment gone wrong, and the drunk scientist just keeps releasing weirder and weirder animals to try and deal with his original infestation.

Is Bruce Wayne in town?

 

[Bare Grills]

Bats are just rats with wings

 

[SimleuqiR]

Will they kill the spider menace?

Man, of all the places those bats could've picked.

 

[SliceSabre]

Just another reason to never visit that country.

 

[echoshifting]

Worst...they will mate

I know that's fake but it wouldn't surprise me in the least to discover such a monster inhabits Australia

 

[Piggus]

Cool. I love flying foxes.

For real. I don't believe you, reality.

 

[platocplx]

Flying foxes are adorable.

They are Flying Dog Bears.

Im dying because its so bad that people need umbrellas to hide from all the poop and pee they drop from the air.

They need to just abandon the town. lol

 

[Litan]

100,000 giant bats...

"Has to be Australia"

"Yep."

Living in Austin, TX made me totally desensitized to large bat populations. They're very cool animals...until they fly a few inches in front of your face.

 

[DeathyBoy]

We're going to get an Aussie Bruce Wayne, aren't we?

 

[Aiii]

Flying foxes are adorable.

D'awwww. We shall name him Snuggula. Count Snuggula

 

[Ragnorok64]

If bats are always excreting waste while hanging upside down wouldn't they be constantly covered in the stuff?

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

It's time for the Australians to lose a war against bats.

Can they really afford to lose more dignity after the Great Emu War?

 

[NoblesseOblige]

More megabats being adorable

 

[Zantetsuken]

They took my advice about theatricality a bit literally.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

I'm just waiting for the Shyamalan twist where we find out Australia is the result of some weird scientific experiment gone wrong, and the drunk scientist just keeps releasing weirder and weirder animals to try and deal with his original infestation.

I love this idea.

 

[Askherserenity]

Aww, they're so cute!
