Mammals play crucial role in country’s forests, dispersing seeds and pollinating many tree species

A juvenile grey-headed flying fox drinks from a milk dispenser in a care centre set up at a home in Bomaderry, Australia, on January 20, 2020.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.

“Without this night time pollinator, our Eucalyptus forests are going to suffer and ultimately die,” Davies, the founder of Shoalhaven Bats Clinic and Sanctuary, told Reuters before placing one of the youngest of her brood into a hospital-grade incubator in her kitchen. Orphaned babies are fed a specially formulated high protein, low energy milk via customised bottles and teats, which helps promote lean muscle growth for flight.
