Sri Lankan Fried Bat

…not a national dish but an unfortunate sleeping accident. And this wasn’t just a single dimwitted fruit bat which failed to understand the danger of power lines. We’ve seen them all over the place, sometimes four or five in a row hanging awkwardly from their charred, twig-like legs.

Apparently caused by the closely grouped wires, this problem seems to be specific to Sri Lanka because we haven’t noticed toasted bats anywhere else. What a SHOCKING way to go! 🙁
