- Title: Giant Straw Colored Fruit Bat Rare
- Name: Mark Rosenthal
- Location: Michigan
- This is an animal rarely offered for sale.....a 2 1/2 year old, captive bred, female, giant straw colored fruit bat. We acquired two of these magnificent bats last year (they are sisters) and really only needed one. This one (Stella) is extremely friendly. We can pet her and feed her out of our hands. We brought her out in our custom designed hearse for our Halloween presentations and everyone went nuts over her size when she opened her wings! I have been in this business a very long time and have never seen one of these for sale, except for the female we parted with a few months ago! We have the paperwork and she is completely legal. This is one of the largest bats in the world (3 foot wingspan!) and extremely easy to care for. This girl would make a perfect animal for a zoo display or educational facility, as well as a breeder. We sold her sister for $2400 immediately and she couldn't even be handled. We are only asking $2500 firm for Stella. All the money will go otni our non-profit educational facility. We are located about 15 minutes from the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, so shipping is no problem. Please feel free to call Mark at (313) 819-5719 with any questions.
