Branch Buddies - Grey-headed Flying-foxes Show Us How to Hang Out in Style!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, a lively group of Grey-headed Flying-foxes takes center stage as they hang together on a branch over the picturesque Yarra River in Melbourne. These charismatic bats are part of a colony that found its new home by the riverbanks after being relocated from Melbourne's Royal Botanical Gardens in the early 2000s. During summer, these flying-foxes know how to make an entrance, with their numbers soaring to over 40,000 from just 5,000 during winter. Talk about a party! Their vibrant presence adds an enchanting touch to Yarra Bend Park in Kew, Victoria. Captured by talented photographer Doug Gimesy in April 2019, this cropped image showcases the beauty and diversity of Australia's wildlife. With their furry bodies and endearing faces, these mega bats remind us that even creatures of the night can have some serious style! As members of an endangered species facing threats and vulnerability, these Grey-headed Flying-foxes serve as ambassadors for conservation efforts across Australasia. So next time you find yourself near the Yarra River or any other natural habitat where they reside, keep your eyes peeled for these incredible animals hanging out together – it's truly a sight worth cherishing!
