A lady was staying at a hotel overnight during her travel across the state in St. Louis County, MO, she had found a bat in the parking lot at the hotel she was staying at. The bat was extremely dehydrated and emaciated.  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.
