Little red flying fox  (Pteropus scapulatus)

Description

As its common name suggests, the little red fox has a conspicuously reddish tinge to its fur and is one of the smallest of the Pteropus species (4) (6). The fur on the head is often grey and the leathery wings are reddish-brown and appear semi-translucent in flight (4) (7). This species is an efficient climber, using its jointed thumbs and its feet to clamber with great agility about the branches of a tree (8).
