Jaspernew.jpg (22899 bytes) My name is Jasper. I was born in 1993.  My mother died of tick paralysis near Zillie Falls (near Millaa Millaa). For several years I lived in a wildlife park until I was no longer needed for show there, and was brought to the Bat House. I’m proud to be the most active, cheeky and curious bat in the world. You cannot help loving me! I am convinced I am Indiana Jones and spend all day chasing imaginary snakes, sometimes finding real ones to the relief of my bat friends, and trying to frighten the snakes away by spooking (screeching and spreading out my wings).  I often manage to fly off for an adventure, but after a few minutes I get scared and screech for someone to pick me up.

I am  the most photogenic of the bats and  I know it ( even though Sunshine reckons She is). As soon as I see a camera, i have to pose and play prima donna. Dont you just dare touch my food ! (Nell)
