Remember watching flocks of fruit bats flying over Subic Bay at dusk. So many they would blacken the sky.

Here's a picture of a second cousin of the new bat.... It's called a giant bigmouth moonbat.

"An Ausytralian grey-headed Flying-fox"

Unplugged 12 ga, 7 1/2's, modified choke. If they are staying further out, switch to high brass 7 1/2 heavies or maybe high brass 6's. /s

So what is the difference between a fruit bat, moon bat, or ding bat?

We already have enough in Congress and the Left coast.

Oh wait. The fruit bat is real and the others are just wannabees.
