The Flying Fox


It seems unreasonable that these things can actually fly, but it's right there in the name. They feed on nectar, pollen, and fruit. I actually saw these things in Queensland, Australia, and, I must say, they were freaky as hell. At dusk they wake up and swarm around the trees in the hundreds thinking about what they're going to have for dinner. If you're lucky, they will choose mangoes over your blood.
