  Prompt: Giant fruit bats – aka flying foxes (Pteropus) – are not well equipped to cope with ever more frequent heatwaves. In late 2018, two days of extreme heat in the far north of Queensland wiped out one-third of Australia’s spectacled flying foxes. Flying-foxes have four strategies for thermoregulation – fanning their wings; clumping together to compete for what shade is available; licking themselves, and panting. Panting is the last resort strategy, as – like licking – it leads to dehydration. When temperatures reach 42°C and above, these strategies start to fail and animals suffer heat stroke and imminent death. That is why a some flying foxes have taken to belly-dipping, that is, skimming over the surface of rivers or pools, dipping their belly fur into the water. They then retreat to the trees to lick the cool water from their fur, lowering their core body temperature. The image is an exquisitely detailed National Geographic quality close-up illustration. The style is a biological illustration with extreme scientific precision, drawn as line art in bold colors.

More about climate change series: flying foxes adapt

Flying foxes will drop dead at very high temperatures. They are not well equipped to beat the heat, and physiologically unable to become semi-aquatic. They can only belly-skim over water and then lick their bellies to hydrate and cool down.
