The Christmas Island Flying-fox (Pteropus natalis) is endemic to Christmas Island, was formerly widespread, but has experienced significant population declines. Unlike other bats, the Christmas Island Flying-fox is active in the day and can often be seen flying and feeding even at midday. Evenings at Margaret Knoll is one of the best places to see and photograph the flying-foxes soaring with the wind from their roosts on the coastal terrace to the central plateau to feed. When mangos are in season, the flying-fox are also often seen feeding on mango trees at Territory Day Park, Smith Point, and the Pink House.
