Grey-headed Flying-fox
The Grey-headed Flying-fox is Australia’s largest bat. They occupy forest and woodland on the east coast of Australia.
Flying-fox camps are increasingly setting up near towns and people because of the loss of their

Flying foxes are an important part of our ecosystem and are a protected species across Australia.
