***About Sunda Flying Foxes

***: Sunda flying foxes, or Pteropus vampyrus, are among the largest species of bats, primarily found in forests and swamps across Southeast Asia. These nocturnal mammals exhibit fruit-based diets, primarily feasting on figs, blossoms, and nectar. The Sunda flying fox plays a critical ecological role as pollinators and seed dispersers, aiding in the regeneration of forest areas. Despite their imposing wingspan, which can reach up to 1.5 meters, they are known for their gentle nature and complex social structures that involve roosting in large communal groups during the daytime. Conservation efforts are crucial for this species, which is threatened by habitat loss and hunting.
