It's #BatAppreciationMonth! This Eastern red bat has something to say about birds... | Bat World Sanctuary

This sweet eastern red bat is rocking herself back to sleep after she awoken for dinner. Sweet girl is spending the winter with us until warmer weather arrives. #pabatconservationandrehabilitation #pabatconandrehab #easternredbat #lasiurusborealis | Pennsylvania Bat Conservation and Rehabilitation

Meet Pamela, an eastern red bat juvie with some serious snack skills. 🍽️🦇 In this video, you’ll see her using her tail membrane like a little dinner dish, expertly holding onto her worm while she eats. Bats are incredible multitaskers—they can use not only their mouths, but also their wings and tail membranes catch insects. If they miss a tasty bug with their mouths, they can use their tail membrane like a catchers mitt to snag the bug and toss it into their mouths during flight, sometimes doi

A handful of sleeping Eastern red bat babies to make your Monday a little bit better. 🥰 Don't forget- NEVER handle bats barehanded! We are trained and vaccinated, and sometimes handle bats (especially babies) without gloves for better control and sensitivity. A bat handled barehanded by a member of the public is likely to be euthanized for rabies testing, so please help keep them, and yourself, safe! | Bat World Sanctuary

Fritters another eastern red bat really REALLY loves dinner. Fritters and Ginger Roger’s both sustained head trauma likely from window collisions based on where they were found. Both are responding well to treatment and will hopefully be released in spring ❤️ #pabatrescue #savepabats #lasiurusborealis #easternredbat | Pennsylvania Bat Conservation and Rehabilitation

Pomfrit the Eastern red bat believes in multitasking, so this evening, she decided to do her calisthenics while dining on her mealworms. Not pictured is red bat Graham, who decided to pretend that he does not know how to feed himself and needed to be hand fed 😑🤣 When do you do your workout? ✌️💜🦇 | Bat World Sanctuary
