Flying foxes aren't really foxes. They are large nectar and fruit-eating bats. Their bodies are so much bigger than "regular" bats that they look like foxes with wings instead of mice with wings. They can grow so much bigger because they can find plenty of calorie-rich nectar and fruit to eat without spending a lot of energy flying after elusive insects like most bat species. More available calories with less work = the ability to sustain a larger body. I don't think they'd be interested in humans--the only meat they eat is insects they find on the flowers and fruits that make up their main diet.
