Abstract
"Bat species in PNG called the Bismak flying fox, amazing thing about this bat is the male bat produces memory gland and breastmilk" provides an intriguing insight into the reproductive biology of the Bismarck flying fox (Pteropus capistratus). This species is notable for the rare occurrence of male lactation, where male bats produce milk—a phenomenon observed in only a few mammal species. The article also touches upon environmental issues in the Pacific region, including debates over logging in the Solomon Islands and the impact of tourism in Bora Bora.
