The hot sun caused 5,000 bats to die.

From the end of last week to November 18, more than 5,000 crow bats died suddenly in a quiet suburb of Australia.

According to The Mirror, about 5,000 bats suddenly fell off the tree and lay dead all over the forest area of ​​Casino, New South Wales, southeastern Australia.

The record heat of 44 o C spread across the state, which caused the roost bats, which are sensitive to the weather. In particular, when Australia is in the summer solstice, it is possible that bats have not been able to keep up with changes in the environment.

The smell of the bats spread throughout the region. Many are lying near residential areas, prompting officials here to warn people to avoid contact with dead bats because they can carry pathogens.

However, some people who have an interest in animals still come to the bat's lair to help them 'cool down' with water-cooling devices.

John Walker, a management officer at Richmond Valley Council, urged people to go through the Telegragh (Australia) newspaper: 'People should avoid contact with the area and should not try to help those who live because of them. can bite or scratch our bodies. Some animals may be infected with lyssavirus (the virus is quite similar to the rabies strain) '.

As soon as a report of abnormal death of bats, the local sanitation force was present and carried out the task of cleaning up the corpses around the downtown area of ​​the Casino. However, some remote areas, deep in the forest, have not been approached.

Some of them are still alive, most of them baby bats, have shown they are more resistant to heat than adults of adulthood.

About 450 animals have been given special care by animal emergency workers. A staff member has a job description.
