Ahool

If you’re thinking of taking a trip to the Island of Java, in Indonesia, don’t forget to go on the hunt for one of the largest and scariest flying creatures thought to exist. It is known as the Ahool. The name comes from the noise it makes when letting out a howl or screech. With a large core, and big eyes, it’s shaped like a giant bat, with long flat arms and a wingspan of an astonishing 12 feet. The most famous of reports come from a naturalist in 1925 named Ernest Bartels. Ernest said he saw the creature fly over head when hiking in the Salek Mountains. He would see the creature again flying over his hut, screaming in the night. Many people in the area certainly believe his claims.
