Does a fruit bat eat pollen?

Answer 1

Yes while going from one fruit tree to the next they are transferring pollen that has stuck to their bodies. Yes. Bats are important pollinators of plants. They also produce a nitrogen-rich fertilizer known as guano.

Answer 2

Yes. Fruit bats, or flying-foxes, use fruit as a second best option in their diet. Their primary food sources are the blossom of native trees, including the pollen which provides protein. They use small amounts of leaf and bark, native figs but the bulk of their diet is the blossom. Fruit is second best, used when the flowering in forests is poor or when they are in captive care. On its own, fruit does not provide the protein and some of the minerals they need.

Answer 3

yes they can.
