Want to see a large flying fox? Then come on!

Let's look closer with me, Mira.

The large flying fox is not really a fox at all.

It's one of the world's biggest bats.

They live in the wild

in southern parts of Asia like Vietnam.

See that long nose?

They almost look like--

That's right! A fox.

Like most bats, large flying foxes

typically sleep all day long and fly around at night.

That's called being nocturnal.

Can you say "nocturnal"?

Very nice.

Large flying foxes only eat fruit,

so they're part of a group called fruit bats.

Let's see what we find when we look closer.

Check out their feet.

They use their claws to grab

and crawl across branches as they look for food.

Amazing, right?

Large flying foxes are so big,

and their tiny little legs can't hold them standing up.

So they sleep by hanging upside down.

And to keep warm, they wrap themselves up

in their huge wings like a big cozy blanket.

Large flying foxes love to hang out with other bats.

A group of them is called a camp,

and some camps can have up to 250,000 bats.

Imagine what that must look like.

That is a lot of bats.

Flying foxes are really good for the forest they live in.

After they eat fruit,

the large flying fox spreads seeds,

and that helps more plants grow.

Well, that covers the large flying fox.

Keep your eyes and ears open

to the world of animals all around you.

I'll see you next time,

when we look closer at more Disney animals.
