Field Notes
Description:
"The megabat, contrary to its name, is not always large: the smallest species is 6 centimetres (2.4 in) long and thus smaller than some microbats.[citation needed] The largest reach 40 centimetres (16 in) in length and attain a wingspan of 150 centimetres (4.9 ft), weighing in at nearly 1 kilogram (2.2 lb). Most fruit bats have large eyes, allowing them to orient visually in the twilight of dusk and inside caves and forests."
Habitat:
Living inside the jungle, hanging on trees, or natural cliff and caves. Is kind of common in Indonesia, can be spotted like regular birds here.
Notes:
I'm not sure of the specific name for this fruit bat.
