bat!

shaped like a friend uwu

Aww

Very cute!

Careful not to touch it with your bare hands, though

Bats are very important animals for insect control but they're also primary reservoir species for a number of serious illnesses

awww cute, but yah beware

Hope they weren't too hard to corral back outside :s A hummingbird got in once and oof

Hummingbirds are, like many small birds, absolutely convinced that they're the size of a dragon and twice as scary

i got him out with the tactical use of a broom and an open window

buddy! hope they get outside safely

oh good

i think mostly because he didn't realize the broom was connected to me

took a half an hour tho. last time i had a bat in the house it figured out that i had the door propped open, but this guy just didn't see my open window

also i'm not sure how he got in

also yeah i'm familiar with bats and, also, i love them?

this poor little guy was scared out of his mind, he landed close enough for me to see his heart racing a few times

i wish i'd gotten a pic of his wee little face

also i'm 90% sure he's an LBB and should be hibernating

which makes me hope that he wasn't hibernating in the roof and like, fell out into my room somehow

then again it's been like 70* here so maybe they're not hibernating yet?

and don't they typically have like.....a specific place they return to every year.....i'm actually not sure how social LBBs are

baby.........

Very social, my research tells me

good

i hope he doesn't have friends in the roof

There's a BAT! Loose in Pen's house!!!

I am glad you were able to free the baby!!

he was very precious

I want to pet and hold bats so badly but it's such a bad idea and life is so cruel

Oh goodness

Bat friend!

you can get a job as a bat researcher and handle them safely and carefully with gloves

and put little tags on them

I want to touch the soft fuuurrrrrrr

soft soft soft

I want to live in the slightly parallel dimension where bats are kept as pets

also where rabies does not exist because duck rabies

...fuck rabies, even

I don't want to imagine a rabid duck

^

i want to befrind bats

I miss the bats that would swarm outside my apartment complex in the early morning... they were so chittery
