    Why does a fruit-eater need fangs like that?

      Thank you for asking!

      Fruity fangs serve two purposes: they act like blades to break open hard fruit shells and husks, and they give the bats a wider grip. This wide grip is very important to bats who often harvest and fly away with pieces of fruit larger than their heads.

    Shocked that the lemon isnt too sour a fruit, but maybe thats less an issue when all you eat is fruit
