Resumen
Raptors are one of the known predators of flying foxes (Pteropus spp.), but this predator-prey relationship is poorly understood. Here, we report an opportunistic observation of a pair of white-bellied sea-eagles (Haliaeetus leucogaster) employing an undocumented predation technique on an island flying fox (Pteropus hypomelanus) individual from Tioman Island, off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The seaeagles appeared to deliberately drop the flying fox in the sea, repeatedly. Systematic observations could help determine the frequency of this predator-prey interaction, and improve our understanding of it.
