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.

ACTION ALERT - CALLING ALL TEXANS!
Our Texas bats are in trouble and need your voice! Bats are critical to healthy gardens, nature, and the ecosystem as a whole. But, the bats have little protection in the State of Texas, despite the fact they are the Official Flying Mammal of Texas. It is *critical* that this law is passed in order to stop the needless killing bats during maternity season. The more bats we lose, the more pesticides will be used, and that`s not good for Texas wildlife or humans. Please make your voice heard by visiting the QR code below and send your letters TODAY. Our Texas bats need this!
It`s Toesy Tuesday! Today`s tiny toes are brought to us by Travis, the Mexican free-tailed bat. Over the past couple of weeks or so, we`ve posted some fun facts about free-tailed bats` toes and toe hairs. Turns out, these appendages do a lot more than look cute! So, what`s YOUR favorite fun fact about bat toes and toes hairs? ✌️💜🦇
Remember: Don`t handle bats or other wildlife bare-handed! We are trained and vaccinated and sometimes forego gloves when handling tiny patients.
Today`s Happy Monday #mealwormmunchfest is brought to you by none other than Ben the Mexican free-tailed bat. Because, face it, you can never have too much Ben.
Did you know? Free-tailed bats like Ben can live up to 18 years and can eat over 20 million insects in their lifetime! ✌️💜🦇
🦇🌍 **The Incredible Migration of Straw-Coloured Fruit Bats!** 🦇🌿
From October to December every year, Kasanka National Park in Zambia becomes home to one of the largest mammal migrations on Earth! 🌍Up to **10 million** **straw-coloured fruit bats** gather to roost in a 4.9-acre area of Mushitu forest. This awe-inspiring event is a true marvel of nature! 🌳
Straw-coloured fruit bats, also known as African fruit bats, are very common in zoos. These three were rescued from a zoo that closed in Michigan in 2018. They are no receiving lifetime sanctuary with us. 🙂
