Week #4 - Flying Fox
by Laura Milholland

Oakland Zoo, Oakland, CA

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.
