Mass starvation of grey-headed flying foxes and premature birth of pups

"The Department of #ClimateChange, Energy, the #Environment and Water said the cause of the starvation event and premature births remained a mystery." >>

* If the flying foxes did not have wings, they could easily pass as dogs and Australians would spend 31.6 million pa. on their care as they do for their wingless dogs.
