one of our few non-marsupial mammals the flying fox is also called a fruit bat. they are not blind and they are actually the main pollinator of the koala forests.
One or two bats are gorgeous but sometimes when we drive through Raymond Terrace the smell of the thousands of bats in the trees there is rather overwhelming. To make it worse they are next to a McDonald's. ha ha
How wonderful , I love bats - reminds me of the times my dad and I would go for a walk along a country lane and pass a wooded area - the bats would always be flying about at dusk.( of course ,not the flying fox.) fav
You got some very interesting animals unique to your part of the world. I've heard of a dog-like bat, but I believe they're from central/south America. I have never heard about flying fox. Very interesting.
