I've been waiting for CO to have a bat picture up! I love bats. Ever since I was a little kid and found a baby that'd fallen out of the eaves of our house... (we gave it some water and then found its parents hiding in a nearby bush. They climbed out and took their baby back out of my mother's hand)

They are the coolest animals. If I could have any animal as a pet - any at all - it'd be one of the flying foxes. They're amazing.

Right. Done gushing now. *melts*

after living near a swamp for many years, i learned to love bats. they keep te mosquito population in check. besides, this wee one is adorable!

magda
 |  Aug 02, 2007 at 10:36 AM

Awww! The wee bat! Bats are the best! Looks like the poor thing misses its mommy, maybe it fell out of the nest or mommy met an unfortunate demise, but with such a warm blankie and obviously food at the ready its human mommy is taking good care of it! So cute!

Kiddo, there have been a couple CO bats before this, but I think this one pwns the rest.

Kiddo, there was a bat at least once before on CO:

(I hope I did that right, I'm not always so adept at this Interweb thingie...)

ANyway, Squeeee! baby bat! I *heart* bats. I remember being a little kid with a clothesline in the backyard, and using it to shoot the clothespins in the air because the bats would dive for them (before, of course, realizing that that was kind of mean...) They are amazing and fantastic little creatures.

He looks like a greyhound who's had an unfortunate encounter with an umbrella. Cute!

Jo

At first I thought was a bebeh deer, but no! It's a Bambi Bat, complete with missing mama.

And just where do you get binkies that small?

Awwwww - batling!

I heart bats - anything that eats it's own weight in mosquitoes is pretty keen in my book!

I saw a baby bat at a zoo once - it looked like a damp leather glove at first, till it looked at you.

Momma bats give birth hanging from their thumbs and they catch the baby with their feets as it comes out. Maybe this little guy got missed and they had to bring him to the bat-nursery to make sure he's all better.

Awwwww, a baby bat with a chooch! I love bats and I've never felt afraid of them (actually when I think of it, I am not really afraid of many animals -- meeting a bear might scare me however).

When I worked in a pulp & paper plant, I'd occasionally come across an exhausted bat that had flown in and gotten lost in the cavernous basements under the paper machine.

Two I found on the ground, utterly exhausted, and another flitting in circles that I had to gently knock down and capture. Wearing my work gloves, I'd carry them out and leave them in a shady, isolated spot. I loved it when they'd open their tiny pink mouths and hiss at me through tiny needle-like teeth. Too enarable! Two of my rescuees had fuzzy faces, one had a more pig-like nose. But I find all bats kinda cute.

And when I'd come later to check on them, they'd be gone. Made me feel good.

jen
 |  Aug 02, 2007 at 11:45 AM

What a beauty! It kind of reminds me of a sleestack.

I found a bat stuck in a sink of a vacant house last spring. I took it outside and gave it some melting snow to lick. It had the most precious little pink tongue.

The Boyfriend, a biology professor who did his Master's degree studying bats and small mamals in Latin America says its a baby fruit bat, possibly from Malaysia.
And he'd like it known for the record that pipe and elbow patches on curdory jackets are optional to be a professor. *nod*
