Species: Rodrigues flying fox

Integrating natural history, the unique individuals, and exhibit design allows us to create a list of desired behaviors:

• Locomotion – climbing, flying
• Grooming/urine bathing
• Foraging
• Self-stimulating
• Wing displaying
• Sleeping
• Sunning/thermoregulation
• Scent marking
• Vocalizing
• Static flight

These behaviors may be encouraged through permanent exhibit structures, rotating items, social opportunities, interactions with keepers and more.
