Fruit Bats: Endangered and Extinct

In the Phillipean archipelago, the largest bat lives that is 2.5 pounds. And the smallest are 16 grams. There is 15 species of these bats, that live along the 7000 islands. They are all extinct in that island, they population began declining in 1969. They benifit the fruit trees, because they pollinate them, and they're a sourcr for guano fertilization. Many appreciate the extinction, but their environment does not.

    These ones are different in appearance. And they're much more attributed than normal ones, mainly they're different in appearance.

    Under the assumption that bats only come out at night, are these bats the same or do they differ from contrary belief?

    No, they do not. They're pretty much the same in the legend of coming out in night.
