Pemba flying foxes are found only on Pemba Island off the coast of Tanzania. Due to deforestation and excessive hunting, their population had dwindled to only a few hundred individuals in the 1990s. Many conservation efforts began to help maintain the species, and in 1994 a captive breeding group of pemba flying foxes were brought to @phoenixzoo. Since then, the wild population has rebounded and in 2011 it had increased to over 20,000 individuals.
Due to old age, all of the Pemba flying foxes from the breeding program have passed away except this one who was born at the zoo thanks to the program. She isn’t lonely though. She has very dedicated keepers and a “flock” of stuffed bats to keep her company.
