動物寶寶在失去母親時,常常會感到害怕,在澳洲布里斯本的蝙蝠救援組織(Batzilla the Bat),為了能夠讓獲救的小蝙蝠Daffodil降低恐懼,便設計一款特殊的保育包,讓蝙蝠寶寶能夠在宛如被媽媽擁抱在懷中的環境下,安心地讓救援人員治療。
據外國動物網站《The Dodo》報導,Daffodil的媽媽在外出覓食時,受困在果園的防護網上,因為發現時間太晚,來不及拯救就死亡了。當組織成員發現時,趴在媽媽身上的Daffodil已經因為嚴重脫水、受寒及飢餓許久,而變得非常得虛弱。
為了讓Daffodil降低戒心,組織成員Battie Blue設計了一個名為「cuddlebatz」的保育包,打開來的形狀像是一隻成年蝙蝠, 可以將Daffodil包覆在其中,就像是被包在媽媽的翅膀之下,同時還會給牠一個奶嘴吸吮。在最為熟悉的環境下,Daffodil會覺得舒適且有安全感,就可以試著去相信救援人員,得到完善的照顧;而且抱著奶嘴吸吮的模樣,萌翻了不少組織成員。
救援組織在官方臉書上表示,在澳洲發生許多像Daffodil一樣失去媽媽的事情,果農會為了避免受到損失而架設防護網,導致果蝠(Flying-fox)媽媽在背著小果蝠外出時,常常會受困其中,若是長時間未被發現的話,果蝠媽媽就會死亡,導至小果蝠未受到照顧。因此,他們正在進力宣導果農使用替代方案,來避免野生動物受到傷害。
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.
