Just hangin' around : Fruit Bats

"Fruit bats are frugivorous or nectarivorous, i.e., they eat fruits or lick nectar from flowers. Frugivorous bats aid the distribution of plants (and therefore, forests) by carrying the fruits with them and spitting the seeds or eliminating them elsewhere. Fruit bats, like other bats, have very long, webbed fingers that serve as wings. Fruit bats also have very good senses of smell and sight. Fruit bats tend to live in large colonies, or ""camps."" Within these camps, one male fruit bats usually lives with up to eight female bats.
