The Fruit Bat is the fifth flying fox in the stampede.
Appearance[]
Despite appearing similar in body shape and size to the Flying Fox, the Fruit Bat is a wholly separate entity. It is primarily coloured banana yellow, although its ears are a dark plum or maroon, colour and its yellow-membraned wings are lined with apple-green. On the front of each wing, there are two leaf-like growths of the same colour, with the one closer to the Fruit Bat's head being larger, consisting of two leaves as opposed to one.
Description[]
This flaptastic flying flora-fauna is full of fruity flavours!
Requirements[]
- Sky Zoo upgraded to Outback 5 or greater.
- Flying Fox tamed.
- Ride past 1800m in Outback.
Note: Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 1800m.

Trivia[]
- The Fruit Bat references the megabat otherwise known as a "fruit bat", although this relation appears to be in name only, as actual fruit bats are named for their diet, not their appearance.
- The appearance of the Fruit Bat is a play on the Fruit Bat being a literal fruit, as well as a bat.
- The description refers to the Fruit Bat as a "flora-fauna", suggesting that it is both a plant and an animal, again referencing how it is, quite literally, a fruit and a bat.
- The Baby Fruit Bat's ability where eating animals is 10% more effective is a reference to the name and diet of fruit bats.
- The appearance of the Fruit Bat is a play on the Fruit Bat being a literal fruit, as well as a bat.
- All but three of the words in the Fruit Bat's description start with the letter 'f', an obvious example of alliteration.
- The Baby Fruit Bat is not as close in appearance to its parent as most other baby animals are in that its snout is rounder and its nose is black, invoking the appearance of a banana.
Notes[]
- The Fruit Bat was released in version 1.3.0 on the 13th of October 2016 along with Outback and all other Outback species.
