We are indeed fortunate in Australia to reap the ecological benefits and pollination services of four species of flying-foxes. In our area, the predominate species is the Black flying-fox but we also have vulnerable and endemic Grey-headed flying-foxes year round as well as Little Reds that visit during the summer months. Endangered Spectacled flying-foxes are not found in our area as they live in far north Queensland. Flying-foxes are a keystone species and their loss would have a profound and

It's a brand new year and a brand new experience for Master Lance as he tastes his very first bat lollie. Bat lollies are small pieces of peeled, well steamed apple and we use them as an introductory fruit to kick start the weaning process. Master Lance has taken to his steamed apple like a duck to water and over the coming weeks, his fruit ration will be steadily increased and his milk feeds will be gradually withdrawn until he is fully weaned by 11 weeks of age. Any flying-fox by itself though

This stunning creature is a Grey-headed flying-fox. Endemic to Australia and federally listed as vulnerable to extinction, their future is looking grim due to decades of abysmal government policy and a human population desensitised to the necessity and plight of our long distances pollinators and seed dispersers of native forests. Although vulnerable to extinction, Greys are still being legally shot in both Queensland and New South Wales and there is strong suggestion that illegal shooting is ri

Bats are extremely clean mammals and they spend a great deal of time each day attending to their personal hygiene. People often accuse flying-foxes of being dirty and disgusting but nothing could be further from the truth. This big Grey male is enjoying his bath and you can see the ecstasy on his beautiful face as he combs his luxuriant fur coat. Grooming is infectious and once an individual starts it is not uncommon to see the inhabitants of the rehab cage spark into life with everybody partici
