Fiji Critter Profile - Fruit Bats

The fruit bats here keep us entertained many evenings. The show up mid to late afternoon and fly from tree to tree eating fruit or sucking up nectar from whatever happens to be blooming at the time. When two of them get too close to each other they squawk at each other in a rather cantankerous fashion. The bats here aren’t as large as those we saw in Australia last year, but they are still pretty good size as far as flying mammals go. I think of them as meerkats with wings.
