      This exhibit now houses the Malayan Flying Foxes, Lesser Mousedeer and Spotted Mousedeer

      @TheBirdMan Does that mean there are no giant flying squirrels on display? That would be a shame. Also, having 3 flying fox exhibits at Night Safari (Fishing Cat Trail aviary, Mangrove Walk and this) seems a bit of an overkill.

      @Zooish I should have better explained. This will be the only exhibit with Flying Foxes. The Mangrove walk will house Owls and the FCT will (for now) house the Flying Squirrels, but they will eventually be replaced by other species.

      @TheBirdMan Thanks for the clarification. I recall flying foxes were housed in the flying squirrel aviary some time back. One of the problems was that they liked to roost at the highest point of the net, above the lighting. So people couldn't really see them. Hopefully with good placement of feeding stations the flying foxes would "hang out" where they can be seen.
    There are no comments to display.
