These giant foxes are also known as fruit bats. It is the largest bat in the world and like its name, they only eat fruits. Flowers and pollen can also be their food options. In general, they live in warm climates, places where various fruits grow throughout the year. With their great eyesight and super sniffers, they can lock their target from miles away.
