General Info

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.
