Except that the bible does not classify bats as being four-legged flying things. It classifies them as being birds.

Since flying squirrels aren't specifically mentioned in the bible, those might qualify as four-legged flying things.

You're right. Bats are birds. Sorry. Flying squirrels could be the answer, but I don't know if there any in that part of the world. Pretty good eating, though, as I understand it. Taste just like squirrel.
