The tashi books by the flenbergs ruled when I was a kid it was all this little Russiany gnome thing and his fantastic adventures I adored the illustrations and especially book covers by kim gamble were epic and it feels like outside of Australia nobody has heard of tashi

I did a quick google search to confirm, and it turns out Catherine Murphy(who took this video) is the president of Townsville Bat and Wildlife Rescue, which is a charity/not-for-profit org registered with the Australian government.
So i think it's pretty safe to say she knows what she's doing.
Here is a news article that interviews Catherine. Apparently Townsville had a heatwave and the baby bat was trying to get a sip to drink when she fell in. The bat was kept for monitoring before being released again.
As a wildlife carer who lives in Townsville i just want to correct that midna person above you because yes we don't have rabies in ground based mammals but that does not mean we are rabies free. We do a relative of rabies called Australian Bat Lyssavirus that causes rabies and has killed lay people.
As an Australian if you see an injured bat or flying fox do not fall for the misinformation that we do not have rabies, if you do get it and do not get post exposure prophylaxis vaccines you will die. That is guaranteed, no if's or buts. Catherine who saved the baby flying fox is vaccinated as most wildlife carers are against rabies.
So if you see an injured bat here in Australia, for the love of God do not touch it or move it but contact a wildlife carer like this woman. Do not risk your life for misinformation.
