endemic New Caledonian species, now very endangered through hunting. The zoo had all three of the country's fruit bat species on display but these were the only ones I could get a photo of. The lone Pacific flying fox ([i]P. tonganus[/i]) was in such a position that I could only get the glare from the sun off the wire. The group of between 6 and 10 New Caledonian flying foxes ([i]P. vetulus[/i]) - which were [i]very[/i] cute I must say! - were in an even trickier position and I could barely see them where they were hanging let alone photograph them.
