Watch A Strong Bond, Love And Trust Between A Wild Flying Fox and Its Carer - Meet Jackie With Mandi

Little Jackie is a permanent resident flying fox kept under a special wildlife license. She adores Mandi and loves to hang off her t-shirt whenever she enters the bat aviary.

But more than anything, she LOVES having her back massaged. Well, who doesn't? Bats, I guess, are no different to humans...

FUN FACTS ABOUT LITTLE RED FLYING FOXES

The little red flying fox is one of the smallest species of mega-bats found in Australia.

Their distribution is from New South Wales in western Australia, through Queensland, and concentrating in the northern Australian region.

Little red flying foxes roost in large camps near and on trees. They cluster or clump in large numbers resembling large bunches of grapes.

They are a migratory flying fox and their camps constantly move, rarely staying in one place for more than four to six weeks.

The diet of the little red flying fox is primarily herbivorous, folivorous, or frugivorous. But its food compared to other species of flying fox mainly comprises nectar and pollen of blossoms and flowers of eucalypt trees, rather than fruit or leaves.

MORE ABOUT MANDI:

Mandi has been a licensed bat carer for nearly 30 years. She lives in Southeast Queensland and cares for bats from her personal funds and any donations she may receive.

She looks after baby bats, orphaned bats, injured bats, and even geriatric bats who are allowed to live out their days in the blissful batty comfort of her loving care.

Being an individual carer and not a member of a Not-For-Profit wildlife organization, she does not receive any form of government financial support.
