Freshwater croc.

We also have an injured freshwater crocodile in at the moment. She was hit by a car which broke her lower jaw so badly that it was only hanging on by skin. He is a photo of her before surgery and unfortunately we had to amputate the last 15 cm of her jaw. However it seems crocs are survivors not only has she recovered well from the surgery. (she is very feisty) but there seems to be lots of fat healthy crocs living out there in the wild with bits of jaw missing so she will be released in the next week of so once her medications are finished.

baby microbat

Sorry its been so long since we posted. Any one might think we have nothing to write about - far from it. We have been really busy which unfortunately means we are getting lots of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife brought in. Heres is a little orphaned microbat. His mum dropped hm. If you look carefully you can see the bruise on his head where he landed on the ground. He seems a little concussed but otherwise ok. He is now being handraised by a carer and hopefully if all goes well he'll be able to be returned to the wild. Its hard to tell which particular species he is at the moment since there is not much of him but as he grows we should be able to id him. At the moment he is on milk but as he grows he will need to learn how to catch insects in the air.
