-Going to add this under the section of ecology. Talks of the role of the species in pollen and seed dispersal.

Flying fox serve as pollinators and seed dispersers for the plants of their area. They can carry large amounts of pollen on their fur and carry it to other plants great distances away, this is particularly important for plants which rely on cross-pollination. Flying fox disperse seeds by dropping the seeds as they eat fruit, or through their feces. It takes 12-34 minutes for food to pass through the gut of flying fox.
