| The ahool is a legendary giant bat, or by other accounts, a pterosaur or flying primate. Named for its distinctive call "A-hool", it is said to live in the deepest rainforests of Java. It is described as having a monkey/ape-like head with large dark eyes, large claws on its forearms, approximately the size of an infant, and with a body covered in gray fur. Possibly the most intriguing and astounding feature is that it is said to have a wingspan of 3 m (12 ft). This is almost twice as long as the largest (known) bat in the world, the common flying fox.
