info

Now, I have the first gallery that presents the world upside down. I took photos of the Indian flying fox in the Townsville park. They appeared in a small group and were behaving quietly and calmly. It is the first flying mammal that has been included in my gallery. At first sight it seems to be a gentle creature; it only appears menacing when it shows off its teeth. The teeth make the bat resemble a fox. It mainly feeds on fruit and is active during the day.
