@@judigrumm7190 not just rabies, problem is bats are "supercarriers" and most viruses and bacteria they carry don't actually affect them much due to their extremely adaptive immune systems. Hence why the "covid from bats" theory has so much traction in the scientific community - virus is in bat, bat and human don't notice, human eats bat, virus spreads throughout human population because the entire time while in the bat the virus was improving reproductive capabilities, "trying" (not conciously) to affect the bat. By the time such a zoonotic virus reaches a human by ingesting or being bitten by a bat, if it doesn't kill the human within a reasonable timeframe, it will spread extremely fast. This is not all bad tho, and the adaptive immune system of bats is being studied in an attempt to develop treatments for autoimmune diseases such as AIDS.

Beautiful boy! 😻😻😻

I miss you Statler. You had such a wonderful and loving life with your devoted carers. We know you're in heaven, sweetheart.

This is what we as humans are supposed to be doing. Taking care of the earth & each other. BRAVO!

Not all of them. There's a universe of bats that are different. There's even very large ones.

Thank you so very much for caring for these wonderful creatures... bats are so amazing & help keep down the insect population. They are also so adorable.

HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET THAT BRING GLAD TIDINGS! The story is so beautiful! Thank you for taking care of your BATS

So wholesome seeing the caregiver position him like he was flying.

Easy, the adorable ones are the Foxes. The ones that eat insects can look scary, especially in the dark. Add to that them being nocturnal and often carry Rabies = monsters. Rabies is no joke and especially before the injections, being close to bats was like playing Russian Roulette..

they deserve their golden years to be safe, comfortable, fruity, sunny, interesting, filled with pals and caregivers who love them. This sanctuary should be very proud of themselves. If you want to see the Flying Foxes in Australia, there is another site about rescues and lots of content. Megabattie is the name of the channel. I learned to appreciate and love them more from there. Love this page as well. 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

Awww this actually made me sad. Happy that he's safe, but the clipping of his claws was just gutwrenching. Love bats, they're so misunderstood, like many other animals. Warms my heart to see that he's cared for really well. 💓
