Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Grey-headed Flying-fox, or Pteropus poliocephalus is an Australian native mammal that plays a vital part in maintaining the health of forests along Australia's eastern coast. The species is crucial to the regeneration of our native hardwood forests and rainforests acting as pollinator and disperser of seeds as it feeds. This book is a brilliant photographic essay about the Grey-Headed Flying-fox. |
