RODRIGUES FLYING FOX

  • Conservation Status: Endangered
  • In our cozy Bat House in Nairobi Village, a camp of Rodrigues flying foxes observes guests from an upside-down perspective! These cute little creatures weigh about one pound.

    Rodrigues flying foxes live only on Rodrigues Island in the Indian Ocean. They are critically endangered. Here at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, wildlife care specialists support a bachelor colony of this species.

    If you enjoy fruits and nuts, thank bats, our planet's major seed dispersers and flower pollinators. Spend some time marveling at their amazing, flexible wings. Admire their three-foot wingspan, as well as the way they stay suspended by their toes. Upside-down is right-side-up for these bats.

    Just outside the bat cave is a peek-through photo opportunity where you can pose as a bat. Turn your photo upside down for the finishing touch!
