Little Red Flying-fox

There’s no prize for guessing the gender of this individual!
November and December are the mating season for this species, and I found documentation that testis enlarge more than three-fold at this time of year.
Why fly around carrying that weight all year when it wasn't useful most of the time?

other sizes: small medium original auto

What a catch! Hanging upside down like that wouldn't be painful?

Fantastic anatomical illustration of every feature of this flying fox! No shyness here in advertising his ability to re-populate the species.

A fascinating animal, well photographed. Ours are minuscule in comparison, bats that is... ~v~
