How do flying-foxes recognise each other?

0
10

They recognise each other by sight and smell. Flying-foxes have scent glands on their shoulders. This scent is spread over their body while grooming. They sniff each other during social interactions. Males rub their scent glands onto tree branches in the colony to mark a territory. Mothers recognise their young by their calls and by their smell.
