How would you like to go out to your garage and see one of these taking a nap there?

Jerry! You ever see a picture of someone holding a fish up towards the camera & it looks really big?

The flying fox above can weigh up to 3.5lb and have a forearm length of 8.5".

I get curious about things like this and take a look around. Here's what I found

The picture above was taken from this post. It's a Giant golden crowned flying fox. I guess the 'giant' species sets it apart from the others

Something like that photo and story usually indicates it's a slow news day

Not sure about the bike, but it drives a Batmobile.

I thought it was going to be about baseball, maybe a picture of Aaron Judge. 😜

This is a perfect example of forced perspective. Put the subject closer to the camera and it will look larger. I have a shot of one of my daughters holding up the Nag's Head lighthouse.
