Hanging Little Bat

Common Brown Bat, Juvenile Male

A couple of years ago, my husband and I had the pleasure of rescuing a juvenile male common brown bat suffering from a head injury. We were surprised to learn that many juveniles suffer flying mishaps as they learn to maneuver in the air (and they are often hit by vehicles). His condition was very similar to whiplash, so he was unable to fly. Fortunately for him, he landed in my garden and I'm a sucker for animals.

He was taken to BatWorld NOVA, who nursed him back to health and released him back into the wild. If I'm not mistaken, I believe he was also tagged and is now monitored for study purposes.
