Post-Graduate Research on Flying Fox colony
Posted: 1 March 2011
This autumn we welcome a post-graduate student research program into the Centennial Park flying fox colony. The grey headed flying foxes arrived in Centennial Park in March 2010 and are a threatened species listed as “vulnerable to extinction”.
Students will investigate diet, foraging behaviour, level of stress, numbers and fly-out behaviour.
They may also examine age of the animals present and their condition, species and the overall similarity and differences that the Park’s population might exhibit compared to other Sydney camps.
