Giant Flying Bats
Witnessing an enormous bat like the flying fox peering through your bedroom window would be quite a sight. These megabats, which can reach the size of a small child, are among the four species of megabats native to Australia. Fortunately, these large bats primarily feed on fruit, nectar, and pollen, which helps alleviate concerns about their potential impact on humans.
Megabats can weigh up to two pounds, showcasing their substantial size. However, it is important to note that several of the bat species in Australia are currently considered endangered due to various factors. Preserving their habitats and implementing conservation efforts are crucial for their survival and maintaining the ecological balance in Australia.
