HYPSIGNATHUS MONSTROSUS

HAMMER-HEADED FRUIT BAT

In my opinion, the most odd and beautiful bat of the world. His disproportionate head, ugly face and wingspan up to 95 cm makes him a really extrange creature.

Is found in tropical Africa. His diet is also extravangt. Do not eat fruits, but sucks the content of the ripest fruits, using his lips like a suction cup.
