Flying Fox (Bat) - Family: Pteropus alecto (Black Flying Fox). bat rescue (QLD) - 24HR RESCUE HOTLINE PHONE: 0488 228 134 ================ please help us! facebook.com/jamesrchadwick.AU.BatsRule.Help.Save.WildLife http://batsrule-helpsavewildlife.blogspot.com.au/ http://wildlife-jamesrchadwick.blogspot.com.au/ ================ Felix n Fernando is in there somewhere..... All the bats in here are hand raised babies, well young adults now. some of them will still reach out to us. (as seen in this video). However they are nearly indepentant and prefer to be with their own. A wild bat would not do this. They would fly away or climb back up the tree very fast. so please dont try to touch/reach out to a bat. Felix is 124 days n Fernando is 129 days old. both are male black flying fox. 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.... we dont know why. as with all wildlife, hands and arms are sterilized before and after. they both will be in care until they are ready for release. ===== * 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. The seeds of some plant species (particularly those with white and green fruits) may only be dispersed by flying foxes, meaning that these plants rely on flying foxes in order to successfully reproduce. It has been estimated that a single flying fox can dispense up to 60,000 seeds in a single night. * Flying foxes are also important for nutrient regeneration and nutrient cycling within the ecosystem. Not only do they provide large quantities of fertiliser 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, flying foxes 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. ======== Don't Shoot Bats http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/don-t-shoot-bats.html AND Help Stop Bats Dying in Oz http://www.thepetitionsite.com/3/help-stop-bats-dying-in-oz AND Newman puts flying fox cull back in farmers' hands http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-04-04/queensland-puts-flying-fox-cull-back-in-farmers-hands/3932598?section=qld ================ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7xB9oyNKM8
