Flying Fox Bat

Flying Fox Bat is a rare species, and one that features very long wings. In fact, they are so long that it is often seen with them wrapped around the body like a cloak. The wings can end up being up to five feet wide when fully displayed. They weigh about 2 ½ pounds.

They even have a golden brown fur on their head that further shows such a resemblance. The rest of the body, including the wings, are black. However, DNA profiling shows that this species of bat is not related to the fox. They don’t have a tail which is typical of fruit bats.
