About the Erabu Flying Fox
A subspecies of the Ryukyu flying fox found on Kuchinoerabu Island and the Tokara Islands in Kagoshima. It feeds on fruit and other plant material at night and rests hanging from branches in woodland by day. Its population is small, and the subspecies was designated a national Natural Monument in 1975 without a specified geographic boundary. Conservation also requires protection of its habitat.
