Little Red Flying Fox

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Little Red Flying Fox (Pteropus scapulatus) is a species of bat native to northern and eastern Australia. With a weight of 300-600 grams (11-21 oz) it is very large bat, but the smallest flying-fox in mainland Australia (the other being the Black, Spectacled and Grey-headed Flying-foxes). Its diet primarily consists of nectar and pollen of Eucalypt blossoms, the pollination of which it is largely responsible. The Little Red Flying-fox is nomadic, and can be found in large groups of up to a million individuals.
