Tube-nosed bat in care: this is Lemon Drop Sprinkles

Показать описание
Lemon Drop Sprinkles is an adult female Eastern Tube-nosed bat (nyctimene robinsonii) who was tangled on barbed wire and rescued.
In care, her injuries healed and she was able to be released.

Tube-nosed bats regenerate wing membrane better than flying-fox regeneration so they can tolerate a larger area of injury yet still heal enough for release.

The eastern or Queensland tube-nosed bat is a megabat in the family Pteropodidae that lives in north-eastern Australia. N. robinsoni is one of the few species in Pteropodidae that roosts solitarily. They get their common name from their raised tubular nostrils which is unlike most other species in the family.

Thanks Mandi for the video footage and photographs.

This video is part of a fundraiser to help 2 carers who rehab large numbers of flying-foxes build, extend and maintain their aviaries.

Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for my fundraisers.
Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to me for the carers.
If no message box appears, please email Jenny to tell her that the money is for me.
IMPORTANT: If you pay through the PayPal Giving Fund, can you please email Jenny with the amount donated and the name under which you have donated, OR just forward along the PP receipt.
The Giving Fund doesn’t charge any fees (so the bats get more money) but PP doesn’t itemise out the amount, they just send a total every month, and we don’t know if the money is for Tolga or for Megabattie.

Here’s Jenny’s email.

What an unusual bat! It has an adorable face, and being an adult it looks much smaller then the flying fox. I’m glad she healed and was released. Thanks to the wonderful caring carers all these batties can live a full life and make lots of babies back in the ❤️🦇🦇🦇🦇
