They are typically restricted to the Old World in tropical and subtropical distribution, ranging no further than the eastern Mediterranean and South Asia and are absent from northwest Africa and southwest Australia. Most fruit bats have large eyes, allowing them to orient themselves visually in twilight and inside caves and forests. Their sense of smell is excellent, and they are the only bats who do not use echolocation. They are migratory mammals, traveling south to escape cold temperatures.
