AFRICA'S BEST BEACH (Pemba Island Zanzibar) | Lost LeBlanc

Pemba Island is home to Pemba flying foxes like this one at the Phoenix Zoo. This species was first described by scientists in 1909. Eighty years later, reports indicated that these bats were at risk of extinction due to hunting and habitat loss, resulting in the species being listed as critically endangered. Community work and monitoring of bat roosting sites in recent years has helped the population to recover. #flyingfox #flying #fox #bat #pemba #pembaisland #animal #mammal #wildlife #nocturn
