In a scene that could come straight out of Alfred Hitchcock's
imagination, about 100,000 bats were found littering the ground after a
major heatwave hit Australia this week, causing the bats to fall from
the sky and die upon impact. In addition to the bats, the heatwave—which
struck the north-east state of Queensland earlier this week and hit
temperatures as high as 135 degrees fahrenheit—meant mass deaths for the
country’s flying foxes across an estimated 25 colonies.
