, where they hang freely from branches. They are often noisy and quarrel with neighbors, engaging themselves in play-fighting, tussles, and play-chasing. Early in the afternoon, they leave roosts, probably taking advantage of updraft winds that enable them to travel further by gliding rather than flapping. Earliest departures begin at noon, but most of individuals leave roosts at 14:00-17:30 h. In late afternoon, they mightfly short distances over the sea and dip their lower body in the seawater, possibly to retrieve salt from the water or remove parasites. They return to roosts around sunrise.

Flying Foxes roost in colonies of 20-2000 individuals in a variety of social groups: pairs of adults, harems containing one male and several females, maternity associations of females and young, and bachelor groups. Communication can be vocal, visual, olfactory, and physical. During the night, they commute up to
