The Seychelles flying fox is a large bat from the Seychelles islands. It is active at night, flies between trees, and feeds on fruits.
The Seychelles flying fox differs from other fruit bats by its golden fur shade and limited range on the Seychelles islands. It is important for nature because it transfers pollen and spreads seeds of many tropical trees.
