Florida- bat found grounded

April 8

A woman in Sebring, FL found a bat grounded by her front door. She was concerned for the well-being of the bat and called us to assist with the situation. We provided guidance on how to contain the bat safely and located several bat-trained rescuers in the finder’s area. The bat was transferred to a rescuer but unfortunately was pronounced dead upon arrival.
