Fox in Flight
by Silver Gummi Shark on Feb.17, 2009, under Dry Land, Flying
Sounds like a scary prehistoric octopus or something, doesn’t it?
Fear not, unless the world’s largest species of bats gets your skin crawling!
The flying fox is not a fox at all; rather, it’s the name for the many species of the world’s largest bats!
Flying foxes are different from most other bats. They have fairly large eyes for their relative body size, and do not rely on echolocation for navigation and finding food. They have excellent vision, and use it to their advantage! As if that’s not cool enough, some species of the flying fox can grow so big that their wingspan reaches five feet!
