ABSTRACT
This study provides the primary information about the population of (Indian flying fox) Pteropus giganteus, feeding, diversity, survival and conservation of bats. Disturbance at roosting places, hunting and use of pesticides are main causes for its declination. Bats are strictly vegetarian and mainly devour fruits, nectar and pollen grains. Bats are bio-indicator species and very sensitive to change in environment.
