A fruit bat hangs upside down on a Neem tree in Bhawrani village, Rajasthan. The Fruit Bat falls into the category of the Megabat and sometimes they are called the Flying Fox in some locations. There are many differences in their size from one location to the next. Due to that variation, these bats are often mistaken for many different types rather than being identified as the same. Some Fruits Bats are no more than two inches long. Others though are more than 16 inches in length. Some of them only weigh an ounce or two and others weigh in at a couple of pounds.
