flying foxes

Among the fascinating creatures living in the biodiversity hotspot, you can easily spot flying foxes. Exploring the colony of these mammals is considered the highlight of your Lagnason River trek. You will have a close encounter with these flying foxes where they live.

Lagnason is known to researchers and biologists alike as the nesting ground and not only a colony of flying foxes and bats. It has been identified that there are four major species of flying foxes and two of them are the world’s largest.

The four identified flying foxes are the Large Flying Fox, Golden-Crowned Flying Fox, Little Golden-Crowned Flying Fox, and the Island Flying Fox.

Please, note that when you take photos (pictures) of these creatures, you must not use a flash as they are susceptible to light and it can cause raucous, aside from disturbing their peace.
