Foxes That Fly
Flying foxes are thieving, noisy, smelly, irksome, ugly, diseased and dangerous. At least, that’s the view most residents of Australia’s largest city have held about the giant bats that live in their midst. Another faction of Sydney residents finds them endearing, useful, playful, captivating, essential and some even go so far as to mother them like their own babies.
Esther has several stock photos of fruit bats, also known as flying foxes, as well as the complete story about bat rescues.
