Meet the Pacific flying fox (Pteropus tonganus), a keystone species here in the Pacific islands! 🦇 What does a bat have to do with the coastal ocean, you might ask? Bats are among the most effective, and often the only, dispersers of many large-seeded plant species.

🔎 Did you know? Grey-headed flying-foxes (Pteropus poliocephalus) just love to cuddle! Pups will remain snuggled against their mother in a roost or even mid-flight. Grey-headed flying-foxes are a vulnerable species in NSW. 🎥 Alex Pike #SavingOurSpecies #PollinatorWeek #AusGeo #BabyAnimal #FlyingFox #Bat | Australian Geographic
