No, fruit bats are not the fastest bats. The title of the fastest bat goes to the Brazilian free-tailed bat, which can reach speeds of over 99 miles per hour (160 km/h) in level flight. In contrast, fruit bats, also known as flying foxes, generally have slower flight speeds, averaging around 25 miles per hour (40 km/h). Fruit bats are primarily adapted for foraging fruits and nectar rather than high-speed flight.
