Grey-headed Flying Fox
The grey-headed flying fox (''Pteropus poliocephalus'') is a megabat native to Australia. The species shares mainland Australia with three other members of the genus ''Pteropus'': the little red ''Pteropus scapulatus, P. scapulatus'', spectacled ''Pteropus conspicillatus, P. conspicillatus'', and the black ''Pteropus alecto, P. alecto''. The grey-headed flying fox is the largest bat in Australia. The grey-headed flying fox is endemic to the south-eastern forested areas of Australia, principally east of the Great Dividing Range. Its range extends approximately from Bundaberg, Queensland, Bundaberg in Queensland to Geelong, Victoria, Geelong in Victoria (Australia), Victoria, with outlying colonies in Ingham, Queensland, Ingham and Finch Hatton, Queensland, Finch Hatton in the north, and in Adelaide, South Australia, Adelaide in the south. In the southern parts of its range it occupies more extreme latitudes than any other ''Pteropus'' species. As of 2021 the species is listed as ...
