Weird Animals in Australia
The flying fox. A weird animal found in Australia.
 It is actually a giant bat.The flying fox is not actually a fox. Instead, it is a bat. This bat found in Australia can have a wingspan up to 5 feet. Imagine a bat with a wingspan of 4 or 5 feet.
In addition, these creepy animals  like to hang upside down from tree branches.
Imagine going out at night and walking into this animal. Yikes
The good news
They feed on fruit, nectar, and blossoms. 
Another weird feature of this Australian bat is that they do not hunt with echolocation like most traditional bats.
Instead, they rely on their smell to locate food.
