Sydneyˈs Royal Botanic Gardens are to start a war on gray-headed flying foxes. These super bats have invaded one of Australia’s most famous public spaces. Officials have said the animals are destroying trees and have to move on.

These unwanted guests at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them living in the picturesque harbor-side park. After inspecting damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously thought. Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning plants.

Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin. The gardens’ director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids will agitate the flying foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb them is to use noises, so we’ve used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we’ll do is have a series of noises, at the beginning and end of the day. What we’ve found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the gardens and go somewhere else,” said Tim.

The gray-headed flying fox is Australia’s largest bat. It flies around at night using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney have said they’re optimistic the unwelcome colony can be uprooted. If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then become someone else’s problem.

The following are some of the most impressive engineering/ construction achievements to date, taking into consideration the time when they were built and the knowledge and materials that were available to designers.

White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad, Canada

Built during the Klondike Gold Rush and financed largely by British investors, “ the railroad built on gold” was constructed in just 26 months, using 450 tons of explosives to explode a route through Canada’s coastal mountains. Passengers should hold on tight – the railroad climbs almost 278 meters in just 32 kilometers. Completion date: July 29, 1900.

Burj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE

The Burj Khalifa reaches a height of 828 meters and is both the tallest building in the world and the tallest free-standing structure in the world. Engineers faced many challenges, including the strong winds that batter the tower. Because of this, over 40 wind tunnel tests were conducted, not just to determine how the wind would affect the building but also to test the cranes used to construct it. Completion date: January 4, 2010.

Trans-Siberian Railroad, Russia

The Trans-Siberian Railroad connects Moscow and Eastern Russia with Japan, China and Mongolia. Northern Siberia isn’t the easiest landscape to cross, which is what makes the 8,851-kilometer Trans-Siberian railway so impressive. Engineers had to design a railway that was capable of operating in temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius. The railway travels through eight time zones, 87 towns and cities and crosses 16 major rivers. Some 90,000 people helped construct the railway, which took 10years to build. Completion date: 1904.
