Nice! hope he recovers soon :-)
Hello Marta--the bat is still in rehabilitation. We are hopeful his wound will heal soon and that he will make a full recovery.
Nice encounter! did you help rehabilitate the animal?
Hi Juan. It is an insectivore. Almost all the species native to the US are insectivorous, and in Virginia, all of them are insectivorous.
Hi Lucy, I can see this bat have long teeth, is it insectivore?
