Orphaned flying fox Melanie is under the care of Batzilla the Bat rescue organisation in Brisbane and despite the warm weather, just needs to be swaddled and cuddled in a blanket while she’s being nursed back to health.

Rescued from a dog in a Brisbane backyard, Melanie was “frightened, inconsolable and underweight” and “struggling to cope”. In this video, two-week-old Melanie sucks on a dummy while snuggling inside her blanket. Credit: YouTube/Batzilla the Bat via Storyful
