Description
If left alone, fruit bats are harmless animals as they perform essential ecological roles of pollination and dispersal of tree seeds along the eastern Australian coastline. However, despite their fundamental ecological role, fruit bats are often the focus or misdirected and ignorant perceptions. Many believe the Hollywood-esque idea that all bats are vision-impaired, blood-sucking predators from the wildest depths of the earth.
Ecologically, flying foxes are important pollinators at a landscape scale (10’s to 100’s km) and seed dispersers at a local scale (up to ~10 km). Other pollinators, such as birds, bees (including native stingless bees), moths, butterflies, wasps, flies, beetles, small mammals such as gliders and the wind, operate over much smaller distances.
