Flying Fox
The term "Flying Fox" refers to a group of large bats belonging to the family Pteropodidae. These bats are known for their impressive wingspans, which can reach up to six feet. Flying foxes primarily feed on fruit, nectar, and flowers, playing a crucial role in pollination and seed dispersal in their ecosystems.
Flying foxes are found in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in Australia, Southeast Asia, and Africa. They are social animals, often roosting in large colonies. Despite their size, they are generally harmless to humans and are vital for maintaining the health of their habitats.
