Image #	cld1600291
Species	Cynopterus brachyotis
Locality	Sarawak, Malaysia
Description	A Short-nosed Fruit Bat swoops in to select a ripe fig (Ficus fistulosa) growing directly on the trunk of the tree. Rather than eating on the spot, the bat will carry the fig off to a favorite perch where it can dine in safety, thus helping to spread the tree's seeds.
