Appearance
The spectacled flying fox is a sizable flying mammal with a robust body, marked by extended wings and a prominent head. It's sheathed in dense fur, which differs in color from dark brown to black. Its most striking features are the large, conspicuous eyes surrounded by a mask of lighter fur, and an elongated snout similar to a canine's. No significant differences in appearance due to age, gender, or subspecies have been noted.
Behavior
Spectacled flying fox is a sociable, nocturnal creature, existing in large colonies. It forages at night, consuming fruit and nectar, making significant contributions to seed dispersal and pollination in its ecosystem. Typically non-aggressive, spectacled flying fox employs scent marking for establishing territory while occasional visual displays and vocalizations occur during disputes.
