Bats are some the most important creatures in our ecosystem. They are unsung heroes. From keeping disease ridden mosquitoes down, to distributing fruit tree seeds and pollination. I see the same as I see rabbits, if not cuter. And less destructive..

Someone should start a go-fund-me or something to help repair/replace that woman's home. With all the work she's doing, she deserves a storm-proof place for her and her rescues.

I'm convinced that tending to animals is the most honorable thing a human being can do

Am I the only one that is nuts for flying foxes?? I love these little critters!!

Meredith is truly an earth bound angel. The love she has for each & every rescue that comes thru her doors is immense, I felt the love soo much, I even had tears! :) She should have her own show! She has enough comings & goings, making interesting stories that many viewers want to come back to see how they are all doing. And most importantly, how Miss Meredith is doing, as well! Very sweet lady! in life, how you treat animals, is how you should be treated. Most Definitely!

I watch megabattie just adore her and all she does for these lovely babies so I really enjoyed this. .

Poor Meredith.....at least she managed to save her "babies"......hope all goes well for her.....

This woman is amazing! I would have such a hard time letting them go after caring for them. But I guess there is always more animals coming in. So one goes and another arrives.

Watching animals for some reason is so relaxing to me. They’re so beautiful!! 🤗🤗

When the lady was chopping up cow heart and egg for the birds, the audio lady was like “with one extra ingredient” while filming the dog 😭🤣

This woman is a saint! Wonderful documentary. I’m a flying fox fan now❤️😊

So sad what humans are doing to our beautiful planet! Be smarter than a tick, don't kill your host 🌎 Many thanks to those helping to save these important animals!

God bless everyone who goes out of their way to care for these animals, it is not an easy task! All of God's creatures are made perfectly and deserve compassion & love 🙏🏼💛💙💜

I love this. It really got me laughing when she was making a meal for the baby birds--"Ox heart and egg yolks, with a little special ingredient"....and then it shows the dog sitting there 😂

What an outstanding Person Meredith is. Super inspiring

If you would like to see daily rescues and follow individual foxes as they grow, and want to see what its like day to day to rescue and rehab sky puppies, follow Megabattie on YT, or Batzilla, Tolga Bat Hospital and others. You can also donate to them which goes to the large community of cooperative carers in Australia. Currently 1/3 of the greys were wiped out in the recent 2018-19 heat stress event. It must be emotional purgatory for these hearty carers, to see so much death and destruction. Its compounded by barbed wire and fruit tree netting which kills or cripples many batties and their babies. But check out Megabattie, Batzilla and Walter the Flying Fox. Its addictive!

I am surprised at the low number of views! Postings like this make learning enjoyable, and are better by far than computer games. I fell in love with the flying-foxes seeing them be bottle fed, and going into a blissful ‘milk coma.’ Learning all about them is a joy! Thank you for sharing this video!

Wow, what an incredible lady! So caring, us humans making it hard for wild life to survive, at least there are people out there making it easier for them.

Beautiful documentary.

They're cute! I love that curious cow too!

They are such beautiful animals and the caretakers are amazing!! God Bless. Especially the woman who’s home was destroyed in the storm, yet she was still taking in and caring for animals. 💗🦇

I just love how learning fruit bats are flying foxes made my day! These kooky little purple-grape-eyed goobers are so stinkin' cute. Thank you for sharing!

Great video! I really enjoy watching Megabattie on her channel too! The carers are all so devoted! 👍🦇😊🌸

i always loved bats for some reason. They are so cute/interesting-

This just showed up in my news feed and I’m so glad it did. I adore Flying Fox and really enjoyed watching Cinderella grow up to be a strong beautiful batty! It has to be emotional when it’s time for release especially when you’ve cared for a week old baby to adulthood. What a joy though, seeing you did a great job and your grown up baby is with a colony of there own. 🦇 😊❤️

Nothing cuter than a Flying Fox!

My friend bought 60 acres that take in a mountain lake in the Shuswap. The mosquitoes were unbearable till we put up a bat house and within a couple years 90% or so were gone. Most people have no idea what bats do and how important they are to the ecosystems everywhere. I love these little cuties.

She teaches us respect for life and balance of nature.

I would love to Donate to this wonderful loving woman. God Bless her and all the animals

That was so good. I've gone from cat to bat obsessed. Thankyou to the wonderful carers. Enjoy your freedom batties

Meredith do you need some help? You're raising and taking care of my favorite animal. I've only seen one in captivity when I was a child at a fair in Maine EE.UU...... I take care of whatever creature comes in front of me as much as I can. Unless It's a tick 😊. You are an an amazing person for taking care of all these creatures! You deserve a medal!

It never ceases to amaze me how once humans and their greed moves in, native species suffers possible extinction quickly. Quite frankly, it disgusts me!! I know a certain amount of evolutionary extinction is normal, but it is obscene how fast humans can negatively impact an ecosystem. It is most disheartening that money somehow makes this acceptable to most people. It is uplifting to see organizations and folks like this stepping up to the plate to address this most critical issue. Every species has a place on this planet and entitled to live out their purpose.

They are like dog puppies, but with wings, they are beautiful. THANK YOU!

I’ve always loved bats, I’ve had bat ‘condo’s’ for years in my yard for our small bats in the States. But I learned about Flying Fox from Meg, “Megabattie”, and am in love all over again! I’ve watched her raise baby’s, bringing those ready to crèche so they can learn how to be bats!, and watched releases back to their colony’s. It’s wonderful 😊♥️. It’s amazing they lose their bond with humans as fast as they do. Essential if they’re going to survive. Now we all need to help educate the public on how essential they are. Extinct is forever 😪

Lovely documentary. I've long watched the local grey headed flying fox camp. I love these little fuzzy sky puppies. We have a lot of blossom around our area so they are nightly visitors. BTW... the 'goanna' in the video is actually a blue tongue lizard, a type of skink.

This woman is an angel.

Bats are truely a natures marvel. What a great job you're doing for our sick & injured animals. I can't believe they mentioned killing a majestic python, of course you'd release it. Thanks for the video

These are my spirit animals, they’ve changed my life in spiritual way…. I’m thankful for these beautiful creatures 🕯🦇🤎

I’ve always adored bats! Adorable creatures! 💖

So cute 😍💜 I love bats the children of the night.

I wonder if they remember where they grew up, and if they return to her house with regularity. They're all so precious, and the work she does is amazing!

This is a must-watch for anyone with a bat phobia. Beautiful souls, this woman and her friends.

Precious babies All ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Bless you all for loving, rescuing, and nurturing them all to life and health ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I would SWEAR the baby bat hugged her back as she said goodbye!!! Omg. ❤️

Thank you Meredith for saving and nurturing these precious animals. You are an angel!

Bless this sweet woman. Bats & orangutans are my absolute favorites!

Flying foxes are so cute!!! Their heads look like little chihuahuas!!

“It’s a female and she’s thirsty” made me lol 😂

That barbed wire is scaring the @#$% out of me for those batties. I don't like seeing them around it. Hope they learn to avoid the barbs.

I love these BATS they are absolutely incredible and beautiful. Thanks to all the wonderful dedicated Bat rescue people.

My Grandson would be in heaven bats are his most favorite of everything. That’s all he talks about and knows everything about them. He has even educated people about then that told him they are nasty. He changed their mind by learning how important they’re. He just loves them.

They are just so beautiful, cute and adorable..... Besides Wolves these are ones of my favourites too....🦇

The Gray Headeaded Flying Fox is one beautiful animal.

How Awesome, would love to see those up close. Beautiful

We NEED a part 2 of this PLEASE! I’m dropping a few tears over here and I hope she’s alright…I love that Bat😢❤

She's amazing a woman God' bless her!

don't know why comments are disabled on some of the other videos. anyway, when i was young some 60+ years ago in northeast iowa on the mississippi river there was a plentitude of little brown bats. every evening they poured out of the trees, caves, the eves and chimneys of most of the houses in my neighborhood. at dusk and thru the night they were everywhere. they ate a lot of bugs. i don't remember anyone who did not like them although most would never touch one and that was probably a good thing. but they could be a pest and several times i woke to a bat flying around my bedroom..the cure was a tennis racket. they had trouble echo locating it. i do not think anyone ever tried to wipe them out but between then and now they have all but disappeared. much like the frogs they are killed by a a fungus or virus or some such. white something and now their havens are protected from human contact. do not know where the killer originated. they are going the way of the elm trees, and i am sad to see them go.

God those flying foxes are HUGE, I didn't know they were so big. Really cool animals

They're just winged kittens or dogs essentially.

Thank you Mrs Meridith for everything you do God Bless!

I love, love, love bats !!! Little Katie is precious too 😍 I love her.

BATS ARE RALLY ADORABLE

Their faces are so beautiful!

Rough day for Katie. Kicked out, lost both her mum and best friend and gained an unwanted boyfriend/stalker/potential rapist. 😦

They're gorgeous. Thank you for helping them. 🦇

Flying-fox being bathed.. "I hate you! .."Ooh that feels so good.." I hate you!.. "Ooh that feels so good.." "I hate you!" "I think I love you..."

I loved watching this story, what a happy ending.

"backward facing milk teeth" God really has a sense of humor, doesn't he?

Thank you so much for helping out these sky puppies, they are just beautiful ❤

if flying foxes go extinct i won't forgive humanity

Beautiful documentary on one of the most misunderstood wonderful wildlife animals. Love BATS. THANK YOU

Thank you so much for posting this amazing documentary! New subscriber!

Amazing women caring for wonderful creatures. Bats have always been a favorite of mine. Thank you fir sharing this amazing video.

They are such interesting creatures. Like a bee, they actually defy the laws of physics. You and I are not able to fly, but a bat with the same bone density in body weight can do it with a leather wing. It's absolutely amazing. Tell me there's not a god and I'll tell you there's not a bat or a bee😁

Precious little creatures! They are gorgeous! Thank you for going above and beyond! 🥰it breaks my heart these pour animals, all the fires, so sad!

Oh ouch... poor Phoenix. Changing those wet-dry bandages is the worst. "They love their bath" I'm not so sure Katie agrees with that sentiment. 😅

God Bless her and God Bless all who is like her

While looking through KZfaq, I discovered kunekune pigs, Nigerian Dwarf Goats and Flying Foxes of Australia. I like all three of these animals but I get the biggest enjoyment out of the flying fox bat. They are so cute but after they have been around humans who have cared for them and fed them, they are more like a pet than a wild animal. Those Flying Fox Rescue organizations who attempt to save them deserve a vote of thanks and if they exist by donations only, If I knew who to contribute to, I would like to send in a donation every so often to help pay for supplies, food, medical supplies, and fuel since there is no government organizations that deal with this.

I live in Pennsylvania on a farm. Grow Zone 4. We have about three dozen little brown bats that live in our big barn. They hibernate in winter, and where they roost, I put a tarp down to gather the guano to fertilize the garden. They come out at dusk, one by one, and hang in the woods until dark. They then fly around my house and the street lamp we have and catch bugs, mosquitoes are their favorite. If I sit on the front porch with the porch light off, they will fly around me catching mosquitoes. Protecting them is key, they are becoming extinct due to diseases. Most everyone I know kill bats when they find them, not understanding they are social creatures, are part of a family, may be several years old, and are quite intelligent. If you sneak into the barn and listen, you can hear them chattering amongst themselves as they roost. They sometimes get caught in my chimney and climb down and I won’t know it until I’m sitting, on my tablet, and notice a dark shadow flying around the room. I open the door, shut off all the lights, step outside and use ‘bat sounds’ on my tablet to lure them outside. They sometimes are too disoriented to notice an open door...but seek other bats. Their hearing is impeccable, they can ‘hear’ mosquitoes flying and use echo-location to hunt them. They like my farm because we have a spring fed pond so there is always water and mosquitoes. They are protected during storms in my barn. Getting the roof fixed was difficult, finally the Amish said they could do the job without disturbing them. Oh, the looks I got from contractors about ‘saving my bats’ was priceless. They had suggested bombing the inside to kill them off. The Amish guys were inquisitive about them, and extremely respectful. They patched the roof from the inside, used screws instead of hammers, and then carefully installed metal roofing ontop of the existing roof. The Bible says that God told Adam to care for the animals..if we do not, they will disappear forever.

The expressions of the animals when they're in so much pain and have lost all hope... and then they realise they're getting help and they're starting to feel a bit less awful and can finally relax for a bit... absolutely priceless fuzzy faces.

That was a blue tongue skink , not a Goanna. Great job they are doing.

Dogs have animal rights... Flying foxes should too. Thank you for posting this. Everyone should learn to love them dearly. Unless everything about flying foxes, how they pollinate, how to conserve the species, to expand on national conservation territories, how much local tax and national tax are needed for what length of time, what native plants to plant anew, what to look for in what season, what fruit nets to ban, what architecture to ban, what trees not to plant near power lines, how much territories and how much food and water source they need, how much it takes to rescue, heal, restore and rehabilitate, how many are alive for how long after release are not provided as public education to everyone, you will lose the population and likely end up with extinctions. Australian government policies have failed on flying foxes. I'm not a flying foxes expert. No, I'm not. You actually don't need to be one to witness Australian government failures on flying foxes. It's public record. Unless all tax payers and voters are in love with flying foxes through public education and emotional attachments from a young age, and a cultural identity of the people of the land of flying foxes are established, large sanctuaries will be subject to logging, development and they will deminish. You can rescue hundreds of baby flying foxes, make videos but unless their right to thrive, live, eat and fly without danger is fully protected by tax payers' recognition, there will be the so called Natural Forest fires that are actually man made to remove forests for privatization. You've lost a massive population already. You mustn't expect a different result doing the same thing. Let's just be real about scientific facts and data, government policy failures being exposed in KZfaq. If you are wiser, you would be using foundations to buy forests to secure sanctuaries. You have enough fan base, you can do it. If a million fans did an Auto Payment of $100 USD/month, you'll have enough for a few lawyers, draft a bill, get a handful of political leaders, mass media to bring about a change. If you think it's possible, it's possible. If you think it's impossible, it's impossible. It's as simple as that. This is a great video for education. Really really wonderful.

This lady is amazing!

Most women I know are libraries of misinfomation about bats, and fear them. What an awesome education these rescue videis Re!

Thankless job. She does it with compassion. God bless 🙏

Thanks a lot for your kind and wonderful video! Bats are very inspiring and charming! ❤❤❤

Meredith is an Earth Angel 🤍

Love these beautiful creatures and so happy awareness of their importance is growing. We are planetary stewards and most handle this obligation with more reverence. Ain’t always about money or inconvenience to humanity. We are part of a greater picture.

What an impressive and amazing documentary. The bats are so awesome and adorable. Keep it up the good work. Have a blessed one . Happy Tuesday.

This was amazing. All the animals are so cuteeee and their guardian angel is great

One time there was a baby bat that fell out of a tree and it was so cute. My friend picked it up to try to help it and it instantly bit him. I love bats.
