Spectacled flying-fox

Spectacled Flying Foxes have a very sensitive sense of smell, and very good eyesight.

Their favorite roosting locations are in the canopies of trees in rainforests, such as mangroves, eucalyptus, or paperbark while in the sun, and colonies can number in the hundreds.

Threatened Species (in Australia), Least Concern (in the rest of the world’s populations).

Harmony,

Animal Communication and Elephant

December 30, 2008

One of the interesting things I’ve discovered in working with animals is that sometimes the animals pick me to work with them, instead of me choosing them to work with me.
