Flying Fox or Fruit Bat

It was early in the morning and I found this little flying fox trapped under a pushbike wheel.He must have landed on the wheel and when it rolled with his weight he became caught.
There is a large colony of up to 500,000 Flying Foxes in Port Macquarie just north of here.At dusk they can usually be seen flying in mass out of Koolanbung Creek searching for food throughout the district.
