Grey Headed Flying Foxes - Food and Habitat

Описание: Dr Phil Ainsley, Director, Adelaide Zoo, discusses how the Botanic Park colony of Grey Headed Flying Foxes searches for food.

While they roost in the trees by day, they fly out at night in search of food within an average range of 20km.

While Adelaide wasn’t historically their habitat, urbanisation has built them a great area to live in. With the Torrens nearby for water and many of their favourite food trees such as Morteon Bay figs throughout the CBD, the colony has what it needs.
