Alaska – bat grounded between tires

May 16, 2023

A bat in Craig, Alaska was discovered on the ground by someone moving a couple of old tires. Even after removing the tires, the bat remained grounded, so the finder decided to give us a call. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located a bat trained rescuer in the finder’s area. Unfortunately, the bat passed away before rescuers could retrieve him.
