African bat
In the Antwerp zoo there is a nocturama where several night animals live. Among them are these African bats who have a very spacious room especially decorated for them. When we were there they were very active, so I couldn't resist of taking some photo's of them with flash. Most probably I should be punished for that, but luckily the bats weren't scared at all. Due to the fast decision of photographing them I forgot to adjust the camera shooting parameters for this situation though! More DOF would obviously be welcome here!
