EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this breathtaking snapshot captured by FLPA photographer John Holmes, we witness the awe-inspiring grace of the Bismarck Flying Fox as it soars through the vibrant skies above New Ireland in Papua New Guinea. With its velvety wings outstretched and piercing eyes focused ahead, this adult flying fox effortlessly navigates the lush forest canopy below. Native to these tropical woodlands, this remarkable creature belongs to a rare species known as Pteropus neohibernicus. Endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago, it proudly represents Papua New Guinea's rich biodiversity. As one of nature's true acrobats, this greater fruit bat showcases its aerial prowess during daylight hours – a sight rarely witnessed in other parts of our world. With an island paradise as its playground and an abundance of succulent fruits at its disposal, our furry friend epitomizes life in Oceania's enchanting Melanesian realm. Its presence reminds us that even amidst dense forests and remote islands, extraordinary wildlife thrives. So let your imagination take flight alongside this magnificent megabat! Picture yourself soaring high above emerald canopies and feeling the wind rush through your fur (or hair!). Let us celebrate these marvelous creatures who remind us that sometimes all we need is a pair of wings to experience pure freedom and joy!
