When these babies lost their mums, they nearly lost their lives. Thanks to wildlife carers, the ‘mother’s love’ they so desperately needed wasn’t far away …
To a baby flying fox, their mother’s love means life itself. These little guys are completely dependent on their mums – and flying foxes make good mums. A mother lives for her pup – spending hours in search of food so that they may both be nourished, and wrapping her little one in her wings as they both sleep. Without her protection, love and care – a pup simply won’t survive.
So when these little flying foxes lost their mothers during a heatwave, the only chance they had at life was to find a mother’s love elsewhere. And thankfully, they did.
