Description
This grey- headed flying fox is stretching its wings, I guess they must get stiff as well hanging around all day ! :)
Many people find their fox-like faces quite endearing, showing cute wiggly ears and a wide-eyed expression. Contrary to popular belief, fruit bats have very good eyesight.
During the day you can go and look at these big bats calmly going about their daytime business of alternatively sleeping, grooming, and socialising.
Of course, the real action is at dusk, when the flying-foxes leave their camp and stream out into the surrounding area (flying up to 50 km a night!) to search for food – flowering and fruiting trees. And it’s here that the flying-foxes perform their critical ecological role – they’re one of the main pollinators and seed dispersers for many of our native trees.
