#batfactfriday the #greyheadedflyingfox is endemic to eastern Australia. They eat nectar and fruit from a variety of plants, thus having an important role in seed dispersal and pollination. They live in large colonies and migrate according to food availability. The grey-headed flying fox is listed as vulnerable mostly due to loss of habitat and persecution by humans as they are thought of as a pest in agricultural communities.

This Big Brown Bat pictured here has the potential to eat 1,000 insects an hour! Due to their insect eating ability, these bats are able to protect our crops, like apples, from pesky bugs! So for “Apple Day,” enjoy a delicious apple and thank the bats!
