This is a video of an orphan short-tailed fruit bat hand-raised by Bat World Sanctuary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkeSSdwbnPg
It is SO sweet and touching! Many thanks to the kind, good-hearted people of Bat World Sanctuary for saving and nurturing and raising this baby.
Enjoy!
:love: Yes Pat that is Adorable.. Now you do realize where Bat World is dont you?? It is here in Mineral Wells where I am at.. Yes that Lady started the Bat World from here && is known world wide now.. She has even been on Animal Planet Shows too..
Aw, I love watching him rock himself, that is really precious.
We need bats more than most people know! Thanks for sharing this!
No kidding! I didn't know that. Have you been there, Helene? How neat is that?!!!Quote:

And those huge human hands being so gentle and careful with him..
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
:) No Pat that is not his tail he is hanging from.. That is one of his back feet.. Yes I was just there yesterday to comment on the video.. The woman that started all of this & her husband are Great & the Sweetest Couple ever.. Bat World is down town in one of the older buildings.. I think its all so terrific of what they do & all.. Yes I watch the video twice && had LES both times.. Such a wittle cutie pie..

:) No did not get to see the star of the video.. I was just in the front office talking.. It was quite time when I was there && all was resting.. You cannot even imagine what all this couple has done for the Bats that are local ones.. And like I said they travel everywhere for rescues.. They are known world wide..

That was so heartwarming to see, I loved it. Thanks to those wonderful people for taking care of this helpless baby :love:
Now that is one extraordinary video! Lil' Drac was handled with so much gentleness and love by his human caregivers. More than anything, I hope and pray this adorable little guy survives :love:
God bless these wonderful, caring people for all they do to help bats!
What a cute widdle bat.:) Thanks for sharing this link.:)
I have always found them to be amazing. This is so precious.
Hes so little and doesn't take him long to learn to drink the formula. :) He literally ROCKS! :cool:
I wanted to watch this video for quite some time but never seemed to find the right moment. Now I watched it and loved it so much. I always loved the flight of the bats after dusk but I had no idea how cute babies they are.
I think it is fantastic what these people do for Lil Drac and the other bats.
I've never seen a bat that small - how very cute. :) It's great that someone helps it survive, now that the mother abandoned it.
