Do flying fox bats eat rabbits?

Actually, no.Flying foxes are fruit-oriented bats, and because of this, they use sight and smell to locate food rather than echolocation like their smaller relatives.From "how stuff works":" Flying foxes belong to the family known as fruit bats. They sometimes eat nectar and pollen but, usually, flying foxes eat juice that they squeeze out of fruit. When a flying fox smells ripe fruit, it swoops down and bites into it. It then chews the fruit to a pulp and presses the pulp up against the roof of its mouth, squeezing out the juice. It swallows the juice, but spits out the fruit's pulp, skin, and seeds. Flying foxes eat mainly such fruits as wild figs, which are not grown in orchards. But they also eat such fruits as mangoes, bananas, and papayas, and they will sometimes do a great deal of damage to orchards in which these fruits are being grown. As a result, flying foxes are considered by farmers to be pests. Compared with fruit diseases and insect pests, however, flying foxes cause very little damage to orchards."
