Janine Davies, who set up Shoalhaven Bat Clinic, a care centre for flying foxes, in her home, holds a grey-headed flying fox in Bomaderry, Australia, January 20, 2020. REUTERS/Angie TeoBOMADERRY, Australia - Janine Davies lifts out a three-week-old baby flying fox from its makeshift home of a towel draped over a rack in her bathroom and gently feeds it milk using a tiny bottle.
Already threatened by deforestation and a dwindling population, the flying foxes are classified as a “vulnerable” species under Australia’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. With its wingspan spreading up to one meter , the flying fox can travel up to 50 kilometers and is one of the biggest bats in Australia - making it a champion pollinator.
At one stage, she had to farm out some of the 300 bats she had rescued as she could not keep up the demanding feeding schedule.
