Update on the Baby Fruit Bat




The baby bat rescued from our power lines has been adopted by an adult bat of a different breed who is also in the care of the WIRES carer. The mother bat had been rescued but had obviously lost a baby because she was lactating. Apparently she took to the baby immediately, wrapped her wings around it and has been feeding her ever since.

The mother is a black bat the the baby a grey headed bat. It is nice how they accept each other isn't it?
