EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a superhero cape when you've got wings like these? This Grey-headed flying-fox is showing off its impressive aerial skills as it hangs from a branch with one wing spread. With its sleek grey fur and piercing eyes, this mega bat knows how to make an entrance in Yarra Bend Park, Kew, Victoria, Australia. As part of the Pteropus poliocephalus species, this magnificent creature belongs to the animal kingdom's elite vertebrate club. It's no wonder why they're often referred to as flying foxes - their resemblance to our furry friends is uncanny! But don't be fooled by their adorable appearance; these bats are true masters of the sky. Their large wingspan allows them to gracefully glide through the air while searching for nectar and fruit. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss and other threats, these incredible creatures are now considered endangered. Doug Gimesy has captured this moment in nature with his expert photography skills. The photo perfectly showcases the beauty and vulnerability of this remarkable species. So next time you see a bat hanging around (pun intended), remember that they're not just spooky Halloween decorations but fascinating creatures deserving of our admiration and protection.
