Flying Foxes in the Gardens of the Zoological Society, Regent's-Park, [London], 1856. 'The Flying Fox is the largest of the fruit-eating bats of India, and is often erroneously called the Vampire...when perfectly adult, [it] has a large head, with not a little of the expression of a fox about it, and an expanse of wing which measures at least three feet, and therefore gives to its flight a nobleness of sweep to which the flickering evolutions of the insectivorous bat of Europe are infinitely inferior. During the day the Indian Pteropi repose in the deep shade of the banyan-trees, suspended by their powerful feet, and wrapped round with their beautiful dark-brown wings as closely as a mummy in a cerecloth...These very interesting animals were brought over from India for the society by Captain Nesbit. They appear to be perfectly sensible of the kindness of their keeper, and feed freely from his hand'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
