 |
| The
Flying Fox Bat is about 1
foot long , and weighs over |
| 3
pounds. Its wingspan is about
3 feet. The Flying Fox Bat |
| is gray
and black. |
|
|
| Flying
Fox Bats live where it's
warm all year long. They
also |
| live
parts of Asia , Africa and Australia. |
| |
| The
Flying Fox Bat eats mostly
fruit. It might travel as far
as 20 |
| miles
to reach
a favorite fruit orchard.
|
| |
| The
Flying Fox Bat is born with
its eyes open and a furry
coat. It |
| can
look after itself by four
months old but it will stay
with its |
| mother
for much longer. The mama
nourishes them with milk. They
live |
| for a
2 year period. |
| |
| The
Flying Fox Bat has strong
hooked claws that help it
cling to |
| branches.
When a mother bat returns to
a busy nursery she finds her |
| baby
by its own call and smell. |
