动物宝宝在失去母亲时,常常会感到害怕,在澳洲布里斯本的蝙蝠救援组织(Batzilla the Bat),为了能够让获救的小蝙蝠Daffodil降低恐惧,便设计一款特殊的保育包,让蝙蝠宝宝能够在宛如被妈妈拥抱在怀中的环境下,安心地让救援人员治疗。
据外国动物网站《The Dodo》报导,Daffodil的妈妈在外出觅食时,受困在果园的防护网上,因为发现时间太晚,来不及拯救就死亡了。当组织成员发现时,趴在妈妈身上的Daffodil已经因为严重脱水、受寒及饥饿许久,而变得非常得虚弱。
为了让Daffodil降低戒心,组织成员Battie Blue设计了一个名为「cuddlebatz」的保育包,打开来的形状像是一只成年蝙蝠, 可以将Daffodil包覆在其中,就像是被包在妈妈的翅膀之下,同时还会给牠一个奶嘴吸吮。在最为熟悉的环境下,Daffodil会觉得舒适且有安全感,就可以试着去相信救援人员,得到完善的照顾;而且抱着奶嘴吸吮的模样,萌翻了不少组织成员。
救援组织在官方脸书上表示,在澳洲发生许多像Daffodil一样失去妈妈的事情,果农会为了避免受到损失而架设防护网,导致果蝠(Flying-fox)妈妈在背着小果蝠外出时,常常会受困其中,若是长时间未被发现的话,果蝠妈妈就会死亡,导至小果蝠未受到照顾。因此,他们正在进力宣导果农使用替代方案,来避免野生动物受到伤害。
Daffodil is Miss Bluebell's new sister and although they are different species, (Bluebell is a Black flying-fox and Daffodil is a Grey-headed flying-fox) they will become the best of friends once they start hanging out in the playpen.Blacks and Greys roost together in colonies that can number many thousands of individuals.Sadly, Daffodil's mother was caught in large aperture fruit tree netting and she was left undiscovered for so long that she died in the netting.Little Daffodil managed to crawl off her mum and she was found close by dehydrated, freezing cold and starving.Flying-fox mothers are carrying little babies at this time of the year and it is so important that Australian gardeners never use any netting that you can poke a finger through as it is extremely dangerous to all wildlife but especially to flying-foxes.We have safe alternatives that deliver 100% of a crop and cause no harm to wildlife. Please only net with shade cloth type netting to grow, net and harvest humanely.
