BALTIMORE, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- A news photographer at the Ravens-Lions game captured an image of an unusual pair of on-field streakers: two bats having sex.

Karl Ferron, a photographer for the Baltimore Sun, snapped a photo during Saturday night's game of Baltimore Ravens player Jeremy Butler running the ball into the end zone.


A zoomed-in version of the picture revealed Ferron had passed by an unusual sight: two bats having sex in the end zone.

"Bats have sex beneath #Ravens Jeremy Butler vs #Lions -- They were escorted safely from the field. #batsex," Ferron tweeted, along with the version of the photo clearly showing the copulating animals.

The photographer tweeted the bats, which he compared to "Pokemon characters" in appearance, gave "a whole new meaning to 'field of play.'"

The Ravens won the preseason game 30-9.
