This Soprano Pipistrelle was brought into a vets after being caught by a cat. She has a slight tear on her tail membrane but that should hopefully heal with time.

    Very kind of someone to rescue the angry lass and take her in to make sure she’s ok. Speedy recovery madam! The skies await thy return!

      I am also glad someone brought her in.

      In North America, bat populations have been decimated by White-nose Syndrome (WNS). And bats are so important for pest control and for the ecosystem in general!

Bats are cool

Bats are the only true flying mammals. There are over 1,400 species of bats, and they can be found on nearly every part of the planet. Not only are they cute, they are also important…

Studying how bats use echolocation has helped scientists develop navigational aids for the blind. Without bats’ pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control we wouldn’t have bananas, avocados, mangoes, agave, or cacao… that’s right, bats bring us tequila and chocolate!

Found a bat in need of help?

  • Do not handle it with bare hands! Bats can carry rabies.

  • Here’s a map of worldwide rescues and temporary care instructions.

  • Bats should never be kept as pets: Here’s why.

Celebrate bats with us!

Our community’s mascot is Baxter. Baxter is an Egyptian fruit bat that was cruelly kept alone and confined to a small cage for 12 years before being rescued by a bat sanctuary. You can read the full story by clicking on his name.
