About 100,000 bats have fallen from the sky and died during a heatwave in Australia that has left the trees and earth littered with dead creatures. In scenes likened to "an Alfred Hitchock thought bubble", a heatwave across the north-east state of Queensland in recent days caused mass deaths of flying foxes from an estimated 25 colonies. Health experts have warned residents not to touch the dead creatures amid concerns about the spread of virus or bites and scratches from bats that may still be alive. At least 16 people have been are receiving antiviral treatment after coming into close contact with a bat. The stench from the rotting carcasses has begun to disturb residents of Brisbane and large towns. Authorities have dispatched rubbish collectors to pick up thousands of carcasses from populated areas. The RSPCA said the heatwave could have a devastating effect on the state's wildlife. "The heatwave was basically a catastrophe for all the bat colonies in south-east Queensland," a spokesman, Michael Beatty, told ABC News. |
澳大利亚的酷热天气导致10万只蝙蝠从天上掉落死亡，树上和地上到处散落着蝙蝠的尸体。 近日澳大利亚东北部昆士兰州的热浪导致25个蝙蝠聚居地的蝙蝠大量死亡。这个场面被媒体描述为“希区柯克电影般的场景”。
该协会的发言人迈克尔·贝提告诉澳大利亚广播公司说：“这次热浪对昆士兰州东南部所有蝙蝠群落都是场大灾难。” （来源：Telegraph 翻译：丹妮）
