I’m
Annie, a black flying fox (Pteropus alecto) and the oldest lady of the Bat House. Born in 1986, I
was found as a wild orphan by a Professor at James Cook University in
Townsville. He hand reared me and brought me later to the Bat House so
that I could live with a colony, as we flying foxes are very social
creatures. I have had 8 babies who have been released to the wild. I am
the matriarch in the bat enclosure and – of course – don’t tolerate
any nonsense from the male bats who all adore me. ( Bat House)
I
am the loveliest of the bats (ask anybody !) and I like to be cuddled a
lot. I am pregnant (and very fat) at this time and always hungry (I
have to feed the pup, havent I ?) (Nell)
