The bat enclosure was brilliant. All sorts of bats whirling around our heads with no cages separating us from them. The fruitbats were my favourite, crawling along wires and looking at us cutely. The building's lights were kept half a day out of sync with the outside, so inside it was "night" during the day.

Flash photography wasn't allowed for obvious reasons, so this is an enhanced long exposure of a resting fruitbat hanging from a cable.
