The Grey-headed flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) can be found on the south-eastern part of Australia. In 2001 a study shows that their range has shifted 750 kilometers southwards, possibly due to climate change. Their habitat consists of woodlands, rainforests, and swamps. Their diet consist...

The grey-headed flying fox, Pteropus poliocephalus, is found on Australia's east coast from south-east Queensland to southern Victoria. This species feeds on native blossom and fruit and will relocate to regions where food is available. As habitat is lost throughout their...
The Grey-headed Flying-fox Pteropus poliocephalus has an expansive range. However, the species actually occupies a relatively restricted and continuously changing habitat area, which is primarily defined by irregular patterns of nectar a... P Eby,G Richards,L Collins,... - 《Australian Zoologist》...
