Orphan baby Fruit Bat.

That animal will probably not be able to be released to the wild now, too much handling...or is it a pet?

It is a licensed sanctuary for orphaned bats. I think they can release them mostly because they are fruit eaters, so they have a system to get them out to the wild in various steps.

WOW! Thanks so much. So wonderful. What a cute little critter.

Chapter two of Dracs life

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed watching him. An amazing animal.

Beautiful to watch the second video, the one above this post and see that as an adult he still rocks.

Thanks! There is a second video on the thread of Drac all grown up and still rocking.


I love bats.

Thankyou. I have saved it to show my granddaughter she will LOVE it too. How lovely, when people take the time to post something, that brightens your day.

I am glad someone enjoyed it. The little guy is quite the bat ambassador. I hope your granddaughter enjoys the videos.

Another bump for Drac, the coolest bat ever, though they are all pretty cool.

All babies are the same, no matter what they are.
Thanks for posting! Soooo cute.

You're welcome. I knew there would be some GLP'rs that would enjoy the videos.

So sweet!!!!

That almost brought tears to my eyes. Such a cutie :)

Glad it wasn't just me.

thanks for that vid. nice to see such caring people.

Awwww....that is soo cute!

Be sure to check out the second video several posts after the first that shows him all grown up, and still rocking.

Yes! It's definitely great to see such caring people!

One more shameless bump for tonight

That was special. Thats what humanity is for.

I love fruit bats.

We live outside of San Antonio Texas and the Breckenridge zoo used to have a huge room full of the bigger variety of fruit bats, they had very canine faces.
They were my favorite visit to the zoo.

Last year i went back and they were all gone, no more fruit bats at all. I was sad.

I think they either sold them illegally or didn't care for them and they probably died.

I don't go to that zoo anymore. :/

I think ignorance hurts bats. The vampire, sucking blood, or rabies idea of bats. I would help bats any way I could. I love all animals, but something about the bats. Maybe it is their canine faces. I don't know what draws me to them. But they are amazing animals.

Storm, are you going to go to their website and buy a bracelet? I saw on the second video they asked to go visit

Ill buy two bracelets to help support them. They got black ones for men, pink ones for women

In the future Ill see how much I can donate to them, They are forthright and generous, 50 percent of all proceeds go to the bats.

Im steering away from big charities that get political. Know lots of lady friends that will not donate to Susan Komen breast cancer anymore. Those big charities are frauds

I tell everyone I know now to donate to a local animal sanctuary instead

I started work today after a pretty harsh two years. No, an extremely
harsh two years. I will be donating to them asap.

They must have two websites,

Im looking for the bracelet one

But check this out.

Thanks!

Strange you should say that. I have a strong feeling to tell you that something good is going to happen to you soon. I don't know what, but something you are really going to like and is going to make you happy.

Man, I hope so. Thanks for that.
