The Bat-Pterosaur Relationship
For years, a few Americans have suggested that reports of giant "pterodactyls" living in Papua New Guinea were only misidentified Flying Fox fruit bats. My associates and I disagree with that idea,
but some of us do believe that there is a bat-pterosaur connection, albeit far different than what's suggested by our critics.

MonsterQuest 2009 Pterosaur Episode
A key man in the expedition was Garth Guessman, of Southern California; he had been on a living-pterosaur expedition in Papua
New Guinea in 2004. Also interviewed on the MonsterQuest show
was Duane Hodgkinson (who had an incredible sighting on the mainland of Papua New Guinea in 1944) and Paul Nation (who
had been on many living-pterosaur expeditions).

These Flying Fox fruit bats are much small than ropens.
In addition, these bats do not glow at night, and they
do not grow tails that reach a length of 10-15+ feet.
