Second of the three large fruit-eating bats I have been babbling about, the Jamaican fruit-eating bat. This bat is slightly smaller than Intermedius and has even less well-defined white forehead stripes. In some places it is one of the most common bats flying at night and can readily be seen just after dark flying around fruit trees in cities.
Normally I do not publish photos showing the teeth, as they make the animals seem aggressive when they are not aggressive at all. But for once I am putting up a shot showing off the pearly whites of a fruit bat just so you can see what it uses to tear open figs and mangos and all the rest.
