Panstivo flying fox

The Panstivo flying fox (Pteropus diabolica), also known as the Paranian flying fox, or just flying fox, is a species of megabat indigenous to the island of Panstivo. Up to just 19 individuals are present on the island of Panstivo which marks the species as critically endangered. 
== Behavior ==
Large flying fox colonies fly in a strewn stream. They can travel up to 50 kilometres (31 miles) in one night to reach their feeding sites. During flight, no vocalisations are made. When large flocks arrive at feeding grounds, they form familial or feeding groups. Flying foxes may circle a fruit tree before landing, and they normally rest upright on the ends of branches, then fall into a head-down position to feed. Feeding aggregations are notorious for being noisy.
This species' territories are built around flowering trees. Growling and extending wings are examples of territorial behaviour. Individuals maintain separation with wrists/thumbs sparring, bites, and loud vocalisations during aggressive activity. After landing, when travelling to a good resting location, a individual may have to fight with conspecifics. A roosting flying fox with its wings curled up is positioned upside down. A flying fox uses its wings to cool itself when it becomes too hot. Until mid-morning, roosting bats are restless.
== Range and habitat ==
Currently, the Panstivo flying fox is confined to the southeastern portion of Panstivo. Being found on the Dimish Peninsula at the extreme southeastern portion, it shares its environment with a vast majority of predators such as darolles, jackals, and other carnivoran species who have all been known to eat flying fox and similar species. Flying foxes were said to roam all over eastern and southern Parania down to southern Rabra in the 18th century but were heavily hunted by the royals and pioneers. Panstivo has the only remaining flying fox population in eastern Parania and is one of the three locations of Parania where flying foxes have been documented alongside Celestial Islands and Dalamatia. It is possible the Panstivo flying fox is a descendant of the eastern Paranian flying fox that used to be heavily common and concentrated throughout mainland Minuka's coast down to southern Avishamane in Pasia. 100% of the population is documented in the rainy southern forests with a luckily growing population expected to reach 100 in no time, but they must avoid the many predators that roam the forest.
