Description: English: Black Flying Fix (Pteropus alecto) eating figs in Roma Street Parkland, Brisbane. QLD.

Description: English: Montage of a Flying Fox enjoying a meal of figs. Unsure if this is a black flying fox (Pteropus alecto) or a little red flying fox (Pteropus scapulatus) based on the reddish colour.
