The Bats

For all of its charms, Sydney does have some creepy residents...bats. Lots and lots of bats. A huge colony lives in the Royal Botanical Gardens. During the day, hundreds of them hang in each tree. You can hear them screaming and fighting with each other. At night, they take to the skies. It's kind of eerie...

The pictures don't do it just. We're talking about thousands upon thousands of bats...
