Of the 60 species of flying foxes, P.vampyrus is among the largest. This bat's wingspan is 5 to 6 feet and weight is up to 1000 gm (2.2 lb.) Pelage is long and silky with a dense underfur. Hairs comprising the mantle are longer than those on other parts of the body. Coloration is grayish brown or black with the area between the shoulders often yellow or grayish yellow. Underparts are black. No tail is present. As the name suggests, the head resembles that of a small fox. Females have one pair of mammae located in the chest region. Ears are simple (long and pointed) with the outer margin forming an unbroken ring. Toes have sharp curved claws. Scent glands produce a strong musky odor. (5 years and 1716 days ago)
