Megachiroptera

Megachiroptera sunt subordo mammalium ordinis Chiropterorum et eius sola familia, Pteropodidae. Quae animalia volantia in regionibus tropicis subtropicisque Eurasiae, Africae, Oceaniae reperiuntur.^[1]^[2]^[3] Chiropteris insectivoris maiora sunt, atque echolocatione non navigant, nonnullis generibus exceptis. Herbivora sunt, qui ad cibum inveniendum visu odoratuque innituntur.^[4]
