THOUSANDS of flying foxes died in an Australian heatwave so severe it has melted tarmac.

Did you say thousands of fruit bats?

Isn’t a flying fox just a bat with an agent?

I think they may be using the word “boiled” incorrectly.

If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Those critters must have been living on the highest mountain in Australia, nay, the world, if water boils at 40° C.

That is 104 Fahrenheit to those living in Rio Linda — warm but not particularly special in the good ol' USA.

Sad story and I hate to see animals suffering, but 40 C is about 104 F which doesn’t seem all that hot. Of course I live in Texas.

Whatever the reason, it is a sad picture and elicits the response the left wants.

It saddens me but the propaganda angle is obvious.

Poor fellas :(

So instead of hot foxes they’re now stone cold foxes?

The large flying fox is among the largest species of bat. It weighs 1.4–2.4 pounds, and has a wingspan of up to 4 feet 11 inches.

From the picture it sure looks like they must fly in tight formations. /s

I wish the bat that I saw flying in my kitchen the other night would die. He should have been hibernating so he will die soon, unless my cat got him then he already is.

The boiling point of water is 100 C.

Temps reached above 40 C.

Something isn’t adding up...

I think ‘broiling’ would have been better description than ‘boiling.’

Are these the famous Drop Bears? Is there anything in Oz that won’t kill you?
