About
La especie de murciélago más grande del mundo, los zorros voladores grandes tienen envergaduras que alcanzan 1,5 metros y habitan bosques tropicales desde el sudeste asiático hasta Filipinas e Indonesia. A pesar del nombre alarmante, se alimentan exclusivamente de frutas y néctar, convirtiéndolos en vitales polinizadores y dispersores de semillas para los árboles del bosque tropical. Se refugian en enormes colonias de miles de individuos. Clasificados como Vulnerables debido a la caza para carne de monte y la destrucción del hábitat.
