Fruit-eating bats

Fruit-eating bats, also known as frugivorous bats, are mammals that primarily feed on fruit. They play a crucial role in their ecosystems by helping disperse seeds, aiding in plant reproduction and forest regeneration. These bats have specialized adaptations such as sharp teeth for biting fruit and a keen sense of smell and vision to locate ripe fruit. Most are active at night (nocturnal) and vary in size from small to large. Their dietary habits make them important contributors to biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, as well as interesting subjects of study within the mammal and bat species.
