Acerodon celebensis
The Sulawesian flying fox is a large fruit bat that lives only on Sulawesi island and neighboring islands. It flies at night in search of fruits and helps the forest by dispersing plant seeds.
The Sulawesian flying fox differs from related species by its smaller size and occurrence only on Sulawesi. It is important for the forest because it disperses seeds of fruit trees and helps them grow in new places.
