Amazing Flying Mammals

In these days, I have read about different bats.Bats are mammals.They can hold their toes together when they are upsude down.One thing I was interested about was the Malayan flying foxes.The Malayan flying foxes are the largest bats in the world.Flying foxes are named is that thier face looks like a fox.The other bats used echolocation(sounds and echoes) to hunt down flying insects.For the flying foxes they would use their keen eyesight.A dog-faced fruit batare also seen in the Night Safari.So, if you have time you and your families could go to the Night Safari to watch many different BATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Fish-Loving Cat

The Fishing cat was found in marshes.Mangrove swamps and rivers of Asia.This are cats that live at waters.They have small round ears and an elongated muzzle.The fishing cat could wait patiently at the edge of the rivers or streams.When the cat came within the striking range,thay will grab the prey with their paws.Fishing cats would lethal bite before the victim was bought back to shore.In wild, fishing cats construt dens in tree hallows or ground caioties.The number of fishing cats have loss of wetland habitats and hunting.Their flesh is eaten in many parts of Asia.Their body also can be used in traditional medician.Lucily fishing cats in the Night Safari are safe from the humans.The fishing cat trail had recently upgraded with new interactive interpretives.So catch the feeding drama of the fishing cats unfold nightly!!!!
