Meet The Biggest Bat In The World, The Golden-Crowned Flying Fox

The herbivorous creature relies mainly on fruits and typically forages at dusk for anything from figs to ficus leaves, eating around one-third of its body weight every night. During the day, it slumbers and roosts amidst large clumps of its peers in the treetops.

While its bloodless diet may come as a shock, only three out of 1,300 bat species are known to feast on blood.
