Holy cow if these flying mammals are growing to this epic size then lord save us now. Meet the Pemba Flying Fox and yes it’s from the bat family. It originates from Pemba in Tanzania and lucky for us, only eats fruits. Here’s an extract from Paradoxoff.com.
[info_box]Pemba flying fox was endangered and almost extincted specie endemic to the Pemba island in Tanzania. These very large (up to 650 grammes/one and a half pounds of weight and 1.85 meters/six feet of wingspan) fruit bats were almost totally exterminated for their delicious meat in 1990s. But thanks toFauna & Flora International organization and its conservation program the population of the Pemba flying foxes have increased form just a several species in the mid 90s to 36 thousands nowadays. However, Pemba fruit bats (scientists call them Pteropus voeltzkowi) status is still vulnerable.[/info_box]
