To me (not a biologist or an -ist of any of the biological sciences) that seems very strange. What process would lead to that? And if it is very unusual for species breed in this way one feels that it is likely they are related. I'm not proposing some ancient genetic engineering civilisation conspiracy theory but...

I wonder if there are other hybrids like it? Could they breed to form an entire population of a new bat species? I have to say, I love bats. My personal favourite species is the Pemba Flying Fox (It can't echolocate, but has a wingspan that reaches 6 feet!!!) My mum once saw some in Tanzania, roosting in a tree. She thought they were giant fruit pods. http://paradoxoff.com/files/2009/08/pemba-flying-fox-1.jpg :o Oh, wow. I wonder if there are other hybrids like it?
