Common Vampire bat

Desmodus rotundus Cincinnati zoo
Quite a fascinating creature, I've seen pictures of these when London Zoo used to keep them.
 
Well, then You should see them in reality first! However, most people seem to be disappointed when looking at them for the first time; I think they expect something more "Christopher Lee"-like...;)

Besides of some labratories, You can see these guys in Berlin and Poznan (New) Zoo-and in quite a bunch of American zoos, too.
 
This picture made my boyfriend VERY happy. While I freak out at the sight of these guys, he could literally watch for hours.
 
How do they feed them? Pots of blood? Or do keepers volunteer to get bitten?
