今年 1 月，澳洲東南部遭遇逾攝氏 42 度的極端高溫，導致數千隻狐蝠死亡。灰頭狐蝠（Pteropus poliocephalus）是澳洲的特有種，現被列為易危物種。由於狐蝠不像其他哺乳動物般能有效調節體溫，熱浪會令牠們迅速脫水並出現中暑，最終可能引致器官衰竭和死亡。

Thousands of flying-foxes died in south‑eastern Australia this past January during an extreme heat event, with temperatures exceeding 42 °C. Grey‑headed flying‑fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) is a vulnerable species endemic to Australia. Unlike most other mammals, flying‑foxes cannot regulate their body temperature effectively, so heatwaves can quickly lead to dehydration and heat stress, ultimately causing organ failure and death.
