The golden-crowned flying fox: a bat with a 5-foot wingspan 🦇👑 Native to the Philippines, this fruit bat is one of the biggest on Earth. Despite its vampire-like look, it’s a gentle giant, feeding only on fruit and playing a key role in reforesting the jungle by spreading seeds. Majestic, misunderstood, and vital for the ecosystem. #FlyingFox #WildlifeReels #AnimalFacts #StrangeAnimals #Bats | Discvr Blog

They hang upside down in the trees, clinging on with ratchet like claws, which help them stay attached to the branches, and wrapping their large, elastic wings around themselves. 驪 | Love Nature | Facebook

Its not often we need an arborist to help with a rescue but you can't get any better than this when you do. Thank you Lukas from Tablelands Tree Works who helped us out, even on a sunday. The young spectacled flying fox pup is now in good care at the Bat Hospital. | Tolga Bat Hospital
