A small brown bat was found grounded in a garden outside of Clinton, Arkansas. The finders, believing the bat just needed a bit of help off the ground, attempted to place the bat into a tree to let him fly off. The next day, the bat was still there, so they gave us a call. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located a bat trained rescuer in the finder’s area. The bat was transferred to a rescuer where he will be assessed for hopeful release back to the wild.
