They're a fruit bat in the Southeast Asian tropics. Absolutely massive bats. You walk under a palm tree and there are a dozen large puppies looking down at you. The fruit farmers of the region are ecocidal toward them, despite deforestation being the reason why they're congregating in the only reliable food source left. They're a great generalist pollinator with a similar ecological niche as squirrels, shitting out edible plant seeds over an almost 2km range.
