Megachiroptera
Megachiroptera is a suborder of bats commonly known as fruit bats or flying foxes. They are primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions and are characterized by their large size, long wingspans, and keen sense of smell. Unlike many other bats, they rely more on vision than echolocation to navigate and find food.
These bats primarily feed on fruits, nectar, and flowers, playing a crucial role in pollination and seed dispersal in their ecosystems. Megachiroptera species are social animals, often roosting in large colonies. Their conservation is important, as habitat loss threatens their populations and the ecological services they provide.
