Colonies can get up to between 1 to 2 million individuals. They're a sight when they take off for a night of foraging, blackening the sky for a long time until they disperse. They have a wingspan over a metre. There's a lot of controversy when they take over towns since they're both protected species. The photo is in Tindal when the flying foxes took over. |
