At night in Equatorial Africa, the skies above fill with some of the strangest-looking animals in the world: the hammer-headed bats. But even though the flying mammals may look like carnivores that would feast on blood, their real diet mostly consists of figs.
These fruit-eating bats have also been known to enjoy snacking on other produce like bananas, guavas, and mangos.
To consume these fruits, the hammer-headed bats simply suck out the juice and pulp and spit out everything else.
Then, they move on to the next fruit tree to continue their nightly feast. When they've had their fill, they return to the trees of the African lowlands that they call home, roosting high above swamps and other moist areas in small groups.
