Seychelles Fruit Bat (Flying Fox)

The granite islands of Seychelles is the home of the mega fruit bats a.k.a flying foxes because of its foxlike appearance. Yes! They feed only on fruits. These unique mammals love to hang up-side down in the tropical fruit trees. They have very large broad black wings, bright yellow-orange furry head and body. The attached elastic on the back of this bat mimics its slow, deliberate beats of flight movements.
