Pteropus species

Image ID:
1721
Date: 
10/07/2011
Location: 
Nimbokrang,
Swamp Forest,
West Papua
Description: 

This image was composed of two images, one of the bat in flight and one of the full moon.
Every evening large groups of Flying Foxes were leaving their roosts in the rainforest and were flying over Jalan Korea. This evening, with a full moon, we saw hundreds of these huge bats flying over our campsite, which was a very spectacular sight.
