Bats are thirsty because of the hot sun piling up in Australia

Dehydrated due to the hot sun, more than 2,000 crow bats, also known as flying foxes, fell from trees to the ground piling up around trees in New South Wales, Australia.

The corpses of thousands of bats that were killed in the hot sun piled beneath the trees in Richmond Valley , New South Wales, Australia when temperatures surpassed 45 degrees Celsius, according to the International Business Times.

Over 2,000 crow bats, also known as fruit bats or foxes, die thirst and fall to the ground on the weekends 11-12 / 2. Experts believe that the number of dead bats will continue to increase as the temperature remains dangerous.

Dead bats fall under the tree.

The worst-hit city in Richmond Valley is the Casino . The widely shared photos on Twitter show hundreds of wingspan of about one meter lying motionless in parking lots and gardens. This is not the first time a mass death of a bat has occurred in this area. In November 2014, more than 5,000 crow bats died in a heat wave.

Last weekend temperatures reached 47.6 degrees Celsius in many areas of New South Wales in southeastern Australia. Rangers and volunteers are working hard to save the crow bats that have overheated but not very successful.

"We are using mist sprayers to moisten the stalks where the bats reside. With dehydrated bats, we take care and moisturize them. In the next few days, bats will continue to fall. "People need to remember not to touch the bat," said Lib Ruytenberg, Northern Rivers coordinator.

Locals are recommended to use bats on their own, but do not touch and move them. Australian bats can be infected with Lyssavirus, a virus that causes rabies.
