​

Abstract

A Little Red Flying-fox (Pteropus scapulatus) was captured on a camera trap, baited with KFC chicken nuggets at Mount Lewis National Park, north Queensland. While it cannot be determined if the flying-fox was attracted to the bait, this observation presents a behaviour undocumented in megabats.
