Walberg's epauletted fruit bat is an African fruit-eating bat of medium size. Males have white tufts of fur on the shoulders, which are used when searching for a mate.
Walberg's flying fox differs from related species by bright white tufts of fur on the shoulders of males. It is important for nature because it disperses tree seeds and pollinates flowers during nocturnal feedings.
