Little Red Flying Fox Bat

Thanks.. Steffi..
@ p.young713 I did not hear this in Australia. I only know about the Australian Bat Lyssavirus related to the Rabies Virus..

wow these are amazing!

Your Welcome Christiane! I found more on internet about the Hendra virus it was an old virus called equine morbillivirus pneumonia has been renamed "Hendra virus disease". Equine morbillivirus pneumonia (EMP) It was around for years and I think at one time called a airborne type pneumonia years ago I had heard about it back on the early 1992, there was a case at USF they called it avian TB back then.

Good ones :)

@ p.young713 Very interesting links, thanks!

Good goosebumps or bad goosebumps?? I love this site too.. You learn so much.. It's great!

I totally dig that last new photo, gives me goosebumps :)
Didn't know neither about the Virus, nor migration.
I love this site, thanks for all the Info guys &girls :)

They stink and they destroy all our trees down by the river! But I love your shots!

Wow, Heather I just read some interesting material on migrating bats!
They do migrate and I did not know it. I think the scientists are studying the migration patterns because little is known about them.

amazing series..thanks for sharing

This series is great. I think it might even be spotting of the day quality, perhaps. I wonder how spotting of the day is picked?

P.YOUNG713 - I remember reading that some bats migrate. Bat Conservation International has tons of info on their site.

Re: HENDRA VIRUS _ I heard of people getting this virus in the Florida caves. A few cases went to USF and other research hospitals. It was supposed to be hard to cure some cases were fatal.

New photos and info on HENDRA VIRUS ...

@ HeatherMiller .. It's great to have the new video feature.. No Video from the bats.. only had the camera with me. Next time! I will look for some more photos..

Did you get any video? There is a new video feature for Project Noah, if you did. And you have 2 more available for this post..you can post up to 6.

Thanks NicoleB..

Thanks... I have 200 more shots.. I was watching them for 2 hours.. It was great! Can't get to close to them.. because of the HENDRA Virus!
