How does the red flying fox move?

The red flying fox primarily moves by gliding and soaring through the air, using its large wings, which can span up to 1.5 meters (about 5 feet). It takes off by climbing to a height and then using thermal updrafts to stay aloft. When on the ground, it moves in a more awkward manner, often crawling or shuffling on all fours, as its wings are not suited for walking. Their flight is characterized by slow, graceful movements, allowing them to cover large distances in search of food.
