Texas – 325 short-tailed fruit bats rescued

March 20, 2023

325 short-tailed fruit bats were retired from an AZA zoo to Bat World Sanctuary. Sadly, 38 of the bats were deceased on arrival due to poor shipping conditions. About ⅓ of the bats were shocky and in need of emergency fluids and oxygen when they arrived. Over 50 of these bats are also pregnant. We are monitoring the colony closely and will have an updated report in the next few days.
