Flying Foxes (Macrobat)
The Flying fox is an interesting creature in abundance
here. They are fairly large, and can get
up to a 5.6 foot wingspan, although we’ve never seen any that big. At dusk and dawn, they can be seen flying
just about anywhere on the island. There
is a Flying Fox Sanctuary here where you can seen hundreds hanging in trees
during the daytime. They have teeth to
bite into and crush fruit, and they suck the nectar out of flowers.
They also have very long tongues that unroll when they are
feeding. When they aren’t eating, the tongue rolls back up. It is tucked away internally around the rib cage rather than remaining in the mouth.
