Tiny bat
@Rainmaker1973 I’m curious about the origin of this video and why the tiny (adorable) bat is getting a Qtip rub while hugging a human finger.

@Rainmaker1973 awwww, thats so cute! I could watch that gif for hours. Where is this? Is there a story to it?
@Tilai @Rainmaker1973 I've seen it attributed to an animal shelter in Austria, Fledermaus Station Österreich. Apparently it is run by volunteers. Here is the website (they're also on Instagram): https://www.fledermausstation.at/en
Austrian Bat Station: found a bat?

Found a bat: during the day? Injured? Grounded? What to do and who to call. Bat Emergency number for Austria

Fledermaus Station
@Rainmaker1973 Weird way to test for COVID. Also, that swab is entirely too large for its nostrils.

@Rainmaker1973

Isn't it dangerous to handle bats? Why bare hands?

It's cute, sure, but, bad example.

@bjb @Rainmaker1973 my understanding is bat rescue workers get lots of extra vaccinations
@Rainmaker1973 would be nice to have tiny indoor bats which can catch all the annoying bugs in the summer, but the cats would catch the bats and there would be crying.
@Rainmaker1973 Itty bitty fledermaus.💗
@Rainmaker1973 You can just see the little guy thinking;
"Yes, rub me! I am the terror in the night!"
