More Hoary Bats!
A mother Hoary Bat was found on the ground with 2 (large!) babies clinging to her. In the picture above, I’m holding up her wing so you can see one of the babies clinging to her underside.
The client brought them to us because after monitoring them for a day, they hadn’t left the site on the ground where the person found them. I examined the bats and found the mother slightly dehydrated, but otherwise physical examination was normal.
Likely the mother had become grounded and b/c her babies are so large, was not able to take off/find a nearby tree to climb. We gave her some fluids under her skin then put her on a tree on the preserve, so she could climb back up to safety.
