These fruit bats are such an important link to re-forestation.
As forests are destroyed in tropical areas because of logging, these
large flying mammals travel long distances to find new feeding grounds.
Because they eat heavily seeded fruits, they are natures own automatic
seeders. This particular kind of bat doesn't use echolocation to find
food like small insect eating bats. They smell the food they seek. This
species of bat is by far the most important to humans. Some fruits would
not exist without them.
