Bats are divided into 2 suborders. This group varies in what it eats. There are many differences between microbats and megabats. Microbats have complex and sometimes large pinnae, or ears, while megabats have simple external ears. This may be explained by the fact that microbats can utilize echolocation to search for food, while megabats cannot.
Megabats use their eyes to locate food.
They prefer lower elevations ranging up to 1000 - 1500 meters, but they have been documented in forests elevating up to 2400 meters. It also considers pollen and insects as tasty food items. This fruit bat usually forages closer to the ground. Fruit-eating bats are vital to the ecosystems in which they live. Since they eat fruit, they spread seeds through defecation.
