Who Needs a Pool? This Grey-headed Flying-Fox Knows How to Beat the Heat!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible shot captured by Doug Gimesy, we witness the ultimate summer cool-down technique of our furry friend, the Grey-headed flying-fox. With its tongue playfully sticking out after a refreshing belly dip in Yarra Bend Park's river, this bat knows how to have a splashing good time! On scorching hot days in Victoria, Australia, these clever creatures take advantage of their high-speed flight skills and dive into the water for an exhilarating belly soak. Not only does it help them beat the heat, but it also provides them with much-needed hydration. As our winged acrobat gracefully hovers mid-air with wings spread wide and tongue still moist from licking off every last droplet of water from its body, you can't help but admire its resourcefulness. The intricate details of its profile and side view showcase the beauty and elegance that nature has bestowed upon this endangered species. So next time you're sweating under the sun or desperately seeking relief from sweltering temperatures, remember this print hanging on your wall. Let it serve as a reminder that sometimes all you need is a little creativity and some good old-fashioned fun to stay cool like our adorable grey-headed flying-fox friend!
