Holy. . .

Insert whatever corny 70s'-phrase from the famed series here. . .

This is looking up at the outside roof of the sloth tree house. There's usually around six or seven fruit bats that hang around during the day time.

At dusk (around 5:30 p.m. here year-round) they drop off the ceiling and head out for the night to hunt the mosquitoes and other insect critters that are hanging around.

A while ago, some of the bats had babies, and if you looked through a zoom lens or a pair of binoculars, you could see tiny little wings flapping off of the mother's bellies.
