Baby Q (Quintessence) is a Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who had an assisted birth after his mother fractured her spine. He was delivered by Caesarean.
He was very mildly premature and survived, growing up, healthy and strong, and fit for release 4-5 months later.
This video is a compilation of videos of Quintessence, from 2015.
Q's mum had a spinal fracture and was euthanased after he was delivered. He was put onto her teat to get her first milk, the colostrum, to get passive immunity from her.
Mum-bat was anaesthetised before the surgery, and euthanased after little Q was safely delivered. Her spinal injury was severe and unfixable.
Thanks Mandi for your footage.
