The Malayan Flying Fox, known also as the Large Flying Fox, Giant Fruit Bat, or Kalong, is an ethereal creature of the tropical Asian night. With wingspans reaching 1.7 metres, they are the largest bats in the world and glide silently through the darkness, a graceful presence in South East Asia’s moonlit forests. Their foxy almond shaped eyes and expressive faces are framed by glossy black fur and golden and russet collars, lend them a warm and mythical aura, while their immense wings are awe-inspiring to see in flight.
These nocturnal giants are the architects of tropical forests, scattering seeds and pollinating flowers as they journey across vast landscapes. Yet, despite their importance to ecosystems, they are under siege—hunted mercilessly and displaced by forests that vanish due to palm oil. Their story is a call to action: protect the guardians of the night before it is too late. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
