Hielander is a 13 week old baby Grey-Headed Flying-Fox.
He was found on the ground about a kilometre from the colony. I think he was grabbed by a raptor (possibly a powerful owl) and was dropped when he struggled. He has a puncture wound in his shoulder and some matching punctures in his wing which line up.
When he fell he smacked into the ground and hit his head.
He has quite a serious head injury and is unable to move his left side more than minimally.
He also has a corneal abrasion on one eye and a huge bruise over his right chest wall.
At this stage I'm giving him some time to improve and see how he goes. I think he's a little better today.
Addit: about 3 months into care he deteriorated and died unexpectedly.
