All over Papua New Guinea there are flying foxes. These flying critters can have a wingspan of up to 4 feet and greater. Thankfully their diet is not the blood of the locals as they are fruit bats! Swarms of these bats can be seen daily: Hanging upside down in trees, flying, and roosting as a group. There are so many that roost at certain times during the day, it causes planes to be grounded from flying.
