Wildlife Rescuer Cuts Flying Fox Free After Getting Wing Stuck In Barbed Wire

A wildlife rescuer cut a flying fox free after it got its wing stuck in barbed wire. Keith Porteous was called out to Balmoral Ridge, Queensland, Australia, on November 9 after the landowner found a bat caught in his fence. Heartwarming footage shows Keith carefully unscrew one of the barbs from the fence which had pierced through the flying fox’s skin membrane. After 20 minutes of work, Keith released the bat and wrapped it in a blanket to take it to a nearby conservation centre to care for its injuries.
