I assume that's all flying foxes, and not just one that ate a bad mango.
I certainly hope flying foxes are not shitting out mango seeds. Ouch.
How else do you think they're spreading them?
Mango seeds are pretty large. I would not want to pass one, myself, lol.
Some seeds will pass through digestion, for sure, but not mango seeds lol. Lots of flying and arboreal animals also deposit seeds without actually having to digest them as they just drop them after the rest is eaten.
You don't eat mango stones? Weird.
And they look fabulous while doing it!

little known fact, bat spelled backwards is tab and that was the influence for the Tab key on the computer keyboard because you can bat backwards
Sounds like a made up "fact"
The best kind of fact.
Sooo, they're also saying that bats are bat-shitting like crazy, everywhere.
Seems like an acceptable con the the pro of seeding
Look at Johnny fucking Appleseed over here
…”Guano-ey” Appleseed? 🫠
Guanny Appleseed perhaps?
The day is won, we can go home now
Bats are the only true flying mammals. There are over 1,400 species of bats, and they can be found on nearly every part of the planet. Not only are they cute, they are also important...
Studying how bats use echolocation has helped scientists develop navigational aids for the blind. Without bats’ pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control we wouldn’t have bananas, avocados, mangoes, agave, or cacao… that’s right, bats bring us tequila and chocolate!
Do not handle it with bare hands! Bats can carry rabies.
Here's a map of worldwide rescues and temporary care instructions.
Bats should never be kept as pets: Here's why.
