Grey-headed flying-fox - preparation for release
Рет қаралды 1,587
9 жыл бұрынThese Grey-headed flying-fox have been cared for by vaccinated carers and are now ready to return to the colony. Please note that these animals are not pets and that if you encounter an injured flying fox or microbat, that you must not touch it but call your local wildlife group for trained rescuers to attend.
In the event that you were bitten or scratched, you would be giving that animal a death sentence, as the only way at this time to test is for the animal to be euthanised and a sample taken from its brain for testing of the Australian Bat Lyssa virus.
The background sounds were recorded this afternoon at Bomaderry Creek. You may need to turn up the volume :-)

Why did they become endangered?

clare5 one Pesticides and agriculture, destruction and irritation of their natural environment. Here the winters are cold and they sleep in places like caves and abandoned houses where they can rest until it is warm again. Now some caves were closed for humans because even the smell of tourists perfume confused the bats. They even find asylum under the rooftop of old churches where volunteers clean seasonally what bats dropped. I am a biologist. Thanks for your interest.

Piece of cake and thank you. I am a Chemist/Physicist that is now a retired doctor. We did animal rescue in my younger days. I'm from NYC.
