A big eared bat was found laying on his back on a deck in Bradley County, AR. He called us for help and we immediately arranged a rescue, however, the bat passed away before a rescuer could arrive.
An adult bat was found grounded in Harlingen, TX and fed cows milk (fatal to bats) for three days before we were called. Sadly, the bat died shortly after we arranged transport.
A Mexican free-tail was found hanging outside of a business in Houston, Texas. Unfortunately, the finders did not reach out to rescuers until nearly a week later, at which time the bat was found to be deceased.
