Happy #Baturday from this eepy floof-bean! This is one of the two orphaned infant seminole bats currently in my care.

I haven’t been posting much, because orphaned bat season is pretty all-consuming. In my corner of the globe, it last from May through the end of summer. This is broken up into several waves, broadly by genus/family.

Thank you for the gentle nudges I’ve gotten that there is still a world outside of my wee belfry. 😅

May you all be as comfy as my tiny #BatsInBlankets.

[Disclaimer because someone is gonna @ me: Don’t try this at home. I’m licensed, have specialised training, and am thoroughly vaccinated. Also, bats would make terrible pets. Etc.]

My brother asked if the trill sound was a bird or frog in the previous video. 8 years ago one night this time of year I heard a frog trilling under my tractor. I got a flashlight and lay down, got a bit under the car and started filming with my phone. Five minutes later the frog was still just staring at me. So I did a trill, which was short and only vaguely reminiscent of a real trill. THEN the frog trilled back!!! The frog was a professional! https://makertube.net/w/5qDYtXMx9LiMKzmGntpiKF #silly #frogs
