Bats are connected to humans and ecosystems in many ways, and all are affected when one link is removed from the chain. | Bat Conservation International | Facebook

Nursing mother bats get hand fed to make life a bit easier. Most nursing mothers of multiples become grounded from the weight of their babies. We keep them until the babies are grown enough to fly and hunt on their own. 💚 | Wild Heart Ranch
