It's a bat! Yay me!

The bat is probably some kind of fruit bat. Most other bats have funky ears/noses/lips, but the bat here doesn't seem to have those things.

It's obviously a newyorkus subwayki imaginativus bat.

Yaybat!

The funky faces are needed for effective echolocation.

And its an egyptian fruit bat. I am fairly confident. Perhaps the cutest of all the bat species.
