Flying foxes are bats that live in forests and swamps in coastal areas of southern Asia, northern Australia, Madagascar, and the South Pacific. They mainly consume fruit juice, nectar, and pollen, and some flying foxes drink sea water to get essential minerals. Flying foxes play a major role in spreading seeds and pollinating rain forests. Many species of flying fox rely on sight, rather than echolocation, to navigate. Flying fox colonies usually roost in trees, and some species are endangered by hunting and deforestation. The female flying fox typically gives birth to a single pup after a gestation period of four to six months. They live about 30 years in captivity, less in the wild. The largest is the Malayan flying fox, which weighs more than a kilogram and has a wingspan up to 1.7 m. The smallest is the little golden-mantled flying fox that weighs about 200 g, with a wingspan of about 50 cm.
