Cave Phlyer

The cave phlyer split off from its ancestor the fruit phlyer. It has adapted to life in the caves. Their eyes have grown much bigger to see in the dark and they have grown slightly smaller. The tips of their wings have developed claws in order to hang on to the sides. Their feet also have little hooks on the bottom of them so they can walk on the surface of the cave walls like a gecko.

They will build their nests on the side of the cave walls. Their spit is sticky and will harden when dried on the cave walls. They stay close to the openings in the cave where the cave carnoferns grow. There they can absorb some sunlight with their photosythetic wings.

They give birth to 2 to 3 babies and their parents will take turns bring them food until they can fly on their own. They usually mate for life and males will do elaborate courting displays in the air showing off their bright colors. They can also "toot" to each other using their but-nostrils.
