Black Flying-fox

for the Grey-headed Flying-fox

Vulnerable

By Lucas, age 10

Black Flying-fox is my favourite animal and I like it because they are the largest Flying-fox in Australia, with the wingspan of up to one metre and jet-black fur. They live in forest and cave and feast on necator and the pollen of native trees at night. They are almost instinct. Some times bats like to be in the shadow because it's hot outside the forest and it is also a hiding spot and a great spot for resting. We should take care of their habitats so they won’t disappear from the earth.
