Rescuing a baby flying-fox alone in a tree: this is Xanto
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Xanto is a baby black flying-fox who was heard crying out in a backyard for 2 nights before the members of public managed to locate the source of the sound and identify that he was a baby and needed help.
He has been brought into care where he will be raised till he's old enough and ready for release in about 3 months.
He's a forthright little soul who has gone sooky for a while but is doing OK. He's going to be transferred to a carer who has a lone black pup, so the 2 can be raised and buddied together.
When the hand raised babies are 3 months old, they go into a creche, where they join other orphans and form a group. They learn batty etiquette and how to live in a batty society.They shrug off their human mums and want to be with the other batties. When they are emotionally and physically ready, and uninjured, and around 4-5 months old, they’re put into a release cage under a colony and they can integrate into the colony and fly out with the wild bats. If they can’t find enough food, they can always come back to the cage for a feed. Support feeding is put up on the outside of the cage for as long as they are coming back and eating it. When the colony flies out for winter, they have fully integrated and fly out with them.
"Raaa raaa raa raa raa ra....hmmm, that's not bad, that apple juice! Now, what was I saying...oh yes, raaa raaa raa raa"
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
This made me chuckle 🤣
😊😍
So cute 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
I love the part at 1:25 when you're interrupting his screaming with apple juice, and he looks so confused.
ikr? he looked like he couldnt tell if he liked it or not lol
LOL
ikr!:-D
If I was in his situation, I would be confused too haha.
"BugPope" I did not think that flying foxes ( or bats) nurse like a lot of mammals do.
He is totally terrified. I don't blame him. Poor baby doesn't know he is in the safest hands. He will get the best care.
?
@@delete---7593 its a wild animal so it assumes its going to be eaten and its crying for its mother.
Well if you had some giant pick you up, wrap your limbs in fabric and pick you up making a load of noise into a plastic box. You might be a little bit scared.
On a scale of 1 to outraged, he was pretty outraged.
To be fair, he's probably had a bad day. First, him mom goes to the store for milk and never returns. Then he's stuck in a tree. Then some weird, hairless, ugly creatures (not calling anyone here ugly, but bats probably think we're weird looking) assault him. Such a lame Christmas.
@@Madison-iw8ix LMAO, it was so damn cute nevertheless. Funny comment there.
It's always a good sign if they are like that it means they are fighters and have a good chance to recover from their ordeal .
The Blacks have such a different voice to the greys. He is simply gorgeous. That juice moment though, it's perfect. The moment they realize they are safe.
Almost reminds me of a squeaky toy at some points. Adorable little guy.
Isn't it because it is a baby and not an adult?
It sounds like a squirrel's squeaking.
He actually stopped yelling after you gave him teddy bear, that's surprising.
Its comfort, it makes it feel like it's not alone or it can hold onto something for safety. Predators dont make prey feel safe normally, so he probably realised he wasnt gonna die.
He also used up his adrenaline spike, along with realizing he wasn’t being eaten.🖤🇨🇦
"It's all too much to process---oh, juice! Cool! Still not having a good day, though...."
Bat: *screaming*
Lady: H E R E. J U I C E.
Bat: Owo?
You know the rules and so do I! Say goodbye!
*furry slayer batalion breaks in*
OwO
Aquirufar 😊😊
That is not a bat that's a flying fox
@@samsungisbetter1015 If you're going to attempt to correct someone on my channel, perhaps you could get your facts straight.
He is both a bat and a flying-fox. Flying-foxes (with an hyphen, you will note) are a kind of fruit bat.
All flying-foxes are bats; not all bats or all fruit bats are flying-foxes.
He is a Black Flying-Fox
So make sure you use an hyphen to denote that this is not a fox who flies, but a type of bat.
And learn to recognise that bat is a correct term, as is flying-fox.
Bat is an umbrella term for all the microbats and the fruit bats and the flying-foxes and the blossom bats.
I love hearing the MOPs being interested and asking questions.
Growing up in Texas I knew way too many people with an “if it moves, shoot it” attitude towards animals. People actually wanting to learn more is refreshing.
Sounds right about Texas
What is a MOP? 😄
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim Member-of-Public, the random people around.
Truzyxx and Texans have an “if it moves, shoot it” attitude towards people, too 😂 after hearing what happened to Ahmaud Arbery, I’m NEVER VISITING GEORGIA. Staying in my deep blue state for now 😅
Truzyxx cool, thanks! I thought it was like a “Muggle” from Harry Potter, people who aren’t part of the wizarding world :)
Bat: Cry, whine, cry, whine!
"Taste it sweetheart." /HOLDS MOUTH SHUT/
Bat: -muffledcry,muffledwhine,muffledcry,muffledwhine!...-
Yeah! this is my favorite part 😂🤣
"WAHWAHWAHWAH--
Hmm, apple juice, this is nice...
WAHWAHWAHWAH..."
When crying brings about the apple juice.... more crying should bring about more apple juice. Impeccable logic 😊
@@tinawitte420 I just came back for the look on his face when she holds his mouth closed. It always makes me laugh. Just came from poor Cobb.🖤🇨🇦

"We have a little boy!"
"That's why he was so mad"
I'm sorry I CACKLED.
I love just how understanding of the bats' emotions she is. She's probably more so than most people
I can understand why he's so cranky, but at least he'll have a little friend soon. Merry Christmas, Meg.
It’s nocturnal, and it was probably sleeping in the tree when it was caught.
Love this woman and her skills. She's the Steve Irwin of bats!
What a handsome boy ♥️. I like that people were asking questions about him, they learned a bit about FF baby’s today 😊.
He is a handsome boy! Thank you to the man who located him and called you. Thank you for saving that little cranky boy
Oh my gosh. Six more to pick up? Thanks so much for helping them.
I have 13 now. A few are going out today and a few more are coming in. I hope to end up with a manageable 8 or so.
Oh my gosh. Hang in there. You're the best. What you're doing is so special.
Those cries... I'm glad he rescued. He's a cute fuzzball!

The fact that it goes to

*dead silence*
Is litteraly the funniest thing ever 😂😂😂😂
Aww, look at him doing big wings! I love the little ones who have the big attitudes.
Just at the point in the video where you're explaining all things batty to the MOPs. You are a natural teacher, and respond so quickly, when people show an interest in learning. Just love it, and love that we get a chance to learn at the same time.
Oh my heart! Never heard them cry like that before! Just like human babies. Bless your heart. For all you do, for all the scratches, bites and burials.....for the dummies and the bottles and yummy juices...I'm sure I speak for many here. Thank you. We need these awesome little critters and somebody has to care about them. I used to rescue squirrels, well hubby did. Take care sweet darlin
I feel so bad that he cried for help two days! Poor darling.
"Rage is life" is the best advice you can give any young one.
poor little Xanto.... he's so scared right now... It's ok little batty baby. Your in good hands now~ 🖤🦇
He's gone to a new carer who has another lone black baby in care, and he'll be a buddy for her.
I really loved little Xanto being here
He's darling. So sorry he's lost his mum (or vice versa).
Thank you for caring for a creature most people despise, I happen to love bats.
I adore the little ones; it was an unexpected thing but I fell in love with them 15 years ago and it changed my life for the better.
"OK. Straight jacket time." LOL
Such a precious outraged darling. 💜🦇💜
Beautiful baby...
Wow!! He was a cranky little guy 🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰
To be fair, he was already scared for his life before he got picked up by a strange, unknown giant 🤣🤣🥰
They learn batty etiquette? 🥺🥺🥺 Thank you for your service, ma'am
Of course a little boy. Full of spirited might. Happy holidays to the overseers of the animals in Australia. I worry so about the climbing heat.
Xanto's sound is so heartwarming!!🖤🦇🔊🤗💓💓 "Time for your straight jacket!".😂 I hope everything worked out well for him, I'll have to look up more Xanto videos later. Thank you Meg.💕💕
Xanto went to the Shoalhaven because Trista had another Black in care about the same age. It's better they get buddied.
“On an airer, as you do” Adorable 🙃
I'm so glad this crankiness wasn't from fatal injury. Sending good batty vibes his way!
They're gorgeous darn it!!! Good work madam!!!
Blessings bebbe Xanto, & M.B. ... 🙅💖
People are curious and how they living that's a good thing
What a nice lookin’ sky doggo
I think I melted.
A baby black Flying-fox and his bottle. ❤❤
shouting at Meg isn't he??? the way his screams its like a complete sentence, so so sooooo absolutely adorable, i just wish i could speak battle, what a beautiful cute little baby, and he was confused with the juice but decided to continue the outrage 😄
thank you Meg
💖💖💖💖💖💖
I love the black batties! They are so beautiful! He reminds me of Licorice, when you had him a while ago 😊💕👍
Liquorice was about 12 months ago.
❤ You are the most amazing awesome person! Ty so so so much for who you are & what you do❣️
Hi Sharon; I'm fairly average and very "who I am" which is not to everyone's taste.
I like doing what I do and I love to share my delight in doing this.
It's magnificent that the public cares about so much about all the animals and calls for rescue, and that there are so many trained and willing to help. I have learned so very much about Australia and Australian wildlife in the last few months, especially the bats and marsupials. I've grown to love them all, as well as their carers.
Bless Xanto's heart!!😢🖤🦇💕💕💕 Well I know he was in the VERY BEST hands and the VERY BEST Care with you Meg! Glucose, fruit juice then Teddy Bear!!🧸🤗💓💓 Bless you Meg💕 for his rescue and to the MOP's for calling for rescue.👍🥰
❤️❤️❤️ Sweet Xanto ❤️❤️❤️
Such a little cutie!
Aw, bless him - he had every right to be grumpy. Hope he's feeling better now 😘
He’s so handsome! What a lovely face. Noisy guy! Sounds like a bike horn! Gargle scream from juice lol
Merry Christmas everyone 🎄❤
So beautiful! Looks like a baby bear. Definitely sounds different from the grey bats.
I love their beautiful wings.
His cranky was adorably chirpy! Love that confused gargle that precedes the juice moment. Happy holidays, and here's to hoping things lighten up for you! Saw in the comments, 13 babies YIKES!
Yeah. It became 15 babies for an hour or 2.
I think I have maybe 9 or 10 now. I'm not sure. I have to count them again when I go to do a feed
she gets an award for having to deal with that fellow's constant questions. reminds me of my dad - has to know everything and has no sense of decorum.
I like it when the MOPs are interested and ask good questions.
Congrats on 100K subs! :)
One handsome boi. 🤗🖤
Thank You ❤️
Yay!!! Another beautiful sky pup saved......fingers and toes crossed! 👍👍💎💖💖
Hi !!! Thanks for what you do. Take care
Thanks Jennifer
He’s got strong lungs . He’s adorable and just so damn cute. Love his little voice... the apple juice certainly works the magic. In love with him🦇🦇🦇❤️❤️❤️‼️
This lady is so sweet
just got my second injections out of three, and did my advanced bat training, so excited to be caring for these amazing species....but equally not happy, means orphaned, traumatized bubs :(
well done.
Where are you located in Australia?
He is beautiful. Of course, they are all beautiful. I love seeing all these little babies. Thank you. xxx 💖🎄💖
Awww. He's a lively one! 🦇 thank you for caring for him.
So adorable. 💔 you can tell he misses mom though.
He's a wild baby and has been wild raised by his mum; he knows his life is not supposed to be lived out with humans; they cope less well with being hand raised and usually remain wilder, however some of them are hit really hard and grieve and mourn for their mum, then surrender to the human raising them and become very sooky.
Ooh, a black flying fox! Cute baby 😍
Thank you!
He was trying to tell you every indignity he had suffered...and you just weren’t paying attention. What a beautiful boy, and I’m happy he did well. He just wanted an audience for his grievances poor little chap.🖤🇨🇦
Good job, Meg. Hope he comes out of the sookie/sulky phase soon and enjoys hanging out with another black baby.
He was transported 200 kms today to his new carer and a buddy. I am sure he will do well.
You're such a beautiful person with a huge heart and a gentle soul.
Aw, poor little fella! 💗
Poor little baby all alone..thank you for saving this beautiful angel💖
Well done I was so pleased he wasn't injured. Good luck little Xanto and to his new carer. Merry Christmas Meg, you've been very good so I hope Santa brought you something nice xx
I don't do Christmas but various people dropped off oodles of champagne yesterday so now I have about 20 bottles awaiting my pleasure
@@Megabattie What lovely folk, how kind. Ill raise a virtual glass and make a cyber toast to your good self and the baby batties very good health ; - )
@@Megabattie I don't do Christmas either but I do do champagne
I love bats so much. I love watching watching babies being cared for. Thank u ❤
Love that baby. He's a fighter - he'll make it because of you
Aw. Crying like a very young one, just like newborn humans. Heartbreaking.
Thank you for saving Stellaluna.
🫠🥲 thank you so much for what you do for those beautiful animals.
Then we are going to go and pick up the other 6... OMG Meg... your my hero. We need more people like you and Maggie. Merry Christmas ladies xxx
I had 13 babies last night. It took me 3 hours to get them all fed and toileted and put to bed
Beautiful creature.
Outraged but so very adorable
Think this may well be the best juice moment of 2019. Adorable lil fella.
Aww! Precious little baby!💓💓💓💓
Thank you for what you do
Beautiful and cute.
He loved the doll so much - though he never knew about such a thing earlier .
Gracias 🙂😍🥰💞💞💞💞
He's adorable.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE BAT SHELTER PEOPLE AND ALL THE BATTIES
He's so pretty!
Oh my god, his juice moment!
Such a cute little baby flying fox
I love the black flying foxes💙
Merry Christmas to you and your batty friends!
Yes, 101 thousand! Congratulations on the milestone!
I hit 100K subscribers and 45 million views early this morning
@@Megabattie And added another 1000 during the day? Impressive! The more subscribers, the more the message gets out. Bats are our friends!
the extra 1000 was in an hour
Thank You For Saving Him He is Beautiful
He's so funny. God luv him!!!
What am adorable little fellow !
I just want more people like you in the world
Trust me, if there were more Megs in the world the world would be overloaded and a really scary place.
How about you wish there were more people who did what I do, rather than more people like me.
I think there are lots of people who do this and we're lucky to have them.
@@Megabattie yep, that sounds good, I understand. I just appreciate your work ☺️
He looks so cute 🥰
