This Malayan Flying Fox is among the world's largest bats.
They are fruit eaters so don't worry about "dracula" like tendencies, although his scientific name is p. vampyrus! :)
In addition to fruit, they eat flowers, nectar and leaves.
This bat's wingspan is 5 to 6 feet and can weigh up to 1000 gm (2.2 lb.)
Range: Southern Burma, Thailand and Indochina, Borneo, Java, Malaysia, Philippines, Timor. Forests and swamps, often on small islands near coasts.
