One of my most memorable and favorite experiences of all time was seeing what we initially thought were pinecones until they started moving – thousands of fruit bats in the pine trees at Adelaide Botanic Gardens, located within the city limits. On a very hot summer day at sunset we sat and watched them fly low across the river while skimming their bodies across the water, then fly back to a tree, settle on a branch and lick the water off their fur.
