Wild Australia (flying foxes)


Okay. They’re not foxes. They’re bats but not ordinary bats. They have a wingspan of more than 70cm (over 2ft) and their main food is fruit. There was once a colony in the mangrove swamps near us. Their constant screeching formed a background noise and we got used to it; then one day it was eerily quiet.
