Including eucalyptus, figs, bush apples (Syzygium spp.), bush plums (Terminalia spp.), paperbarks, grevilleas and fruits of many palm species. The seeds of some plant species (particularly those with white and green fruits) may only be dispersed by Megabats, meaning that these plants rely on Megabats in order to successfully reproduce. It has been estimated that a single Megabat can dispense up to 60,000 seeds in a single night. /\^..^/\ * Megabats are also important for nutrient regeneration and nutrient cycling within the ecosystem. Not only do they provide large quantities of fertilizer to the system, but they create gaps in the canopy which enables other plants to compete more effectively. For instance, some trees shade ground-dwelling plants and shrubs, preventing them from obtaining nutrients, light and rain. By creating a gap in the canopy, Megabats enable these plants to obtain more sunlight, rainfall and nutrients, thus promoting a more diverse plant community, with cascading benefits for many other animals and plants. /\^..^/\ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTCrWwV9Uek

Please SHARE n LIKE. thank you. Felix n Fernando - orphaned babies see - http://batsrule.info/2011/11/felix-n-fernando-day1.html OR search for felix or fernando. NOT PETS. Felix's mother and cause of separation is unknown. Fernandos mother was electrocuted on a power pole and died. Baby bats are known to survive an electrocution. As with all wildlife, hands and arms are sterilized before and after. They both will be in care until they are ready for release. They are first feed milk. 4 or so times a day. about 44mls total (not cows milk from the store). Babies powder milk - diploma. we also use now a special mix formulated just for bats. however this is very expensive. they are then intro to stewed apples then cut fruit.. apples, rock melon, watermelon, paw paw, pear and banana. they learn how to expell the skin. Seeds are consummed in the wild. this is one way they are important to the environment. They have been doing this for 30 million years. Fossil found is approx 33 million years old. I believe it was found in australia. * Flying foxes are very important pollinators and seed dispersers of many native plants including Eucalypts, figs, bush apples (Syzygium spp.), bush plums (Terminalia spp.), paperbarks, grevillas, and fruits of many palm species.

This male was nearly home. He was under 100 mtrs from home in a residential backyard. Covered in grass seed that sticks to your clothes, mostly around the neck and eight bat flies. All of which he let me remove with no fuss. Possible dog attack. He had dry saliva on him and holes in wing membrane from dogs teeth. He checked out ok with some bruising and an issue with his right shoulder which will be treated lucky boy! Phew! ^..^ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJolNIyFThg
