Bats Lost Their Homes In The Australian Floods


Torrential rain has brought chaos to Australia, and not just to the humans who live there. The Australian Bat Clinic and Wildlife Trauma Centre saved 130 orphaned bats on the Gold Coast in past weeks. Carers have visited several bat 'camps' on the coast in recent weeks to find four-week-old babies on the ground covered in maggots and fly eggs.

The surviving youngsters will be bottle fed and kept either hanging on clothes lines or in special intensive care units until they are ready to fly again in about four weeks.
