I visit Sri Lanka's Colombo often, every evening around 5pm the bloody crows and pigeons will disappear and replaced by gigantic bats that Sri Lankans call flying dogs. I tell you they are 2-3 times bigger than the photos above.

Yes is truth there is documentary on that species.
I like to bring shotgun hunting them.

This is a Bismarck Flying Fox. The largest Fruit Bat in the world, found in Papua New Guinea. I doubt if humans are targeted by these animals. Probably humans might eat the creature if they caught it.

Cheers!

No, it's a vampire bat that drinks blood.

At least it doesn't eat meat.

The small bats we commonly see won't grow to this size. Flying foxes are a different species and can get quite big and, yes they only eat fruits.
I used to eat flying foxes, delicious.
