Description
The straw colored fruit bat is the most widely distributed of all the African fruit bats. It is quite common throughout its area ranging from southwestern Arabian Peninsula, forest and savanna zones of Africa (south of the Sahara) and to the offshore island of Africa . These bats are very abundant, but even so have recently been upgraded to near threatened on the IUCN redlist due to a decreasing population trend. They travel in massive colonies of at least 100,000 and sometimes massing to 1 million. Their neck and back are a yellowish- brown color, while their underside is tawny olive or brownish. This is one of the larger species of fruit bats.
