With a wingspan of more than a meter, the grey headed flying fox is the largest fruit-eating #bat in the world. 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. 🦇 | Love Nature

The Hammer-headed bat (Hypsignathus monstrosus) is a megabat that is found in Africa. It is the largest bat in continental Africa, with wingspans approaching 1 m (3.3 ft), and males almost twice as heavy as females. #bats #batman #bat #batschannel #wildlife #wildlifephotography #centralafrica #westafrica #natgeowild #fruitbats #facts #didyouknow #visitafrica | The African Exponent | Facebook
