Flying Foxes: Fruit and Blossom Bats of Australia # Australian Natural History Series

By: Les Hall and Greg Richards

Price: $39.95

Publisher: Australia, University of New South Wales Press: 2000

Seller ID: 003788

ISBN: 0868405612

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: New

Flying Foxes is an illustrated guide dedicated to Australia's thriteen species of Megachiroptera. These 'mega' bats do not comply with standard bat stereotypes: while they are nocturnal, they live in forests rather than caves, they navigate by sight rather than echolocation, and their long snouts and large ears and eyes give them a canine like look - hence the description of 'flying foxes'. Perhaps because of their appearance, as well as their intelligence, flying foxes are regarded with much affection in Australia and are sometimes kept as family pets. 135 pages.

The compilation and content of this rare work of art and natural history is examined here in the light of Diggles' life and times, as well as his ornithological predecessors and contempor...
