BAT WORLD SANCTUARY
texas residents - Please Help!
The Largest Bat Sanctuary on Earth
Bat World Sanctuary is on the front line to end the mistreatment of bats. Each year we rescue hundreds of bats who might otherwise die. Lifetime sanctuary is given to non-releasable bats, including those that are orphaned, injured, and rescued from the exotic pet trade, zoos and research facilities. We are also involved in conservation efforts both locally and internationally.
Bat World was founded in 1994 and is a 501c3 non-profit, accredited organization with the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries.

🦇Bat Spotlight🦇
Miss Aquarius is one of our resident island flying foxes. She is part of a group of flying foxes that came from Florida to retire here at our sanctuary.
.
Island flying foxes are native to the islands of the Indo-Pacific region of the world. Aquarius likes eating melon treats and hanging out with her batty friends. Aquarius dislikes unripe fruit and people she doesn’t know.

This week we want to shout out 📣 Lance T. For sending us plastic sheeting (among a few other things). We use plastic sheeting along the inside of the fruit bat enclosure to minimize the mess they make as they party all night long. The Florida girls approve! 🦇🦇

A #behindthescenes look at our most recent rescue, Sabrina the Mexican freetail. ❤️
Sometimes bats find themselves in places less than ideal for them. They get confused, lost, and frightened inside noisey, brightly lit buildings and will tire themselves out trying to escape. That’s where we come in! Remember that these little guys often just need a little help, and the sooner a rescuer is called, the sooner we can get the bat back out into the wild! #rescuerehabrelease #batrescue
The sun is shining, the grub is good, and all is well at Bat World Sanctuary. From bats to "Baaas", we are all wishing you a happy Monday! ❤🦇
🦇Meet Sabrina🦇. This little star ⭐️ is a Mexican free-tailed bat who found herself lost inside a local grocery store. Thankfully, she was rescued before any harm came her way.
After some rest, hydration, and a few extra bug-filled meals, Sabrina is regaining her strength. Soon, she’ll be back where she belongs—soaring under the night sky. 💕

Did you know?
Flying-foxes are very clean animals! 🦇✨ They spend lots of time grooming and keeping themselves tidy.
But here’s the cool part: in the wild, they also communicate through scent.
They use smells to identify their camp trees, recognize one another and even attract mates!
Mothers can find their pups in large crèche trees by their unique scent and calls — pretty amazing, right?
The variable flying-fox girls you see in this video are rescued residents of Bat World Sanctuary, cared for and loved every day.💕
