A lady in What Cheer, IA, found a bat pup on the sidewalk during her morning walk. She was concerned because it looked very skinny and wrinkly. The bat pup was orphaned, emaciated, and dehydrated. 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/she will be assessed for hopeful release back to the wild.
