A bat pup was found on a porch in St Marys, GA and not knowing what to do, the finder first used a towel to attempt putting the bat on a nearby tree. The pup immediately fell from the tree, and the finder realized it was going to need further help. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located a bat-trained rescuer in the finder’s area. The baby was transferred to a rescuer where he/she will be hand-raised and released when old enough to survive.
