Flying Fox 2
What amazing animals! They're mammals like us with
good eyesight, hearing and sense of smell. Their toes lock them
onto the branches of trees so they don't fall off. Their thin
membrane wings are waterproof so they can wrap themselves up in
their raincoats when it rains. Babies start their first month
locked onto their mothers' teats but then the mothers leave them
in nurseries while they gather food at night. Eventually the babies
learn to take off and fly.
