An undersized evening bat was found on the ground in San Antonio, Texas. Due to poor advice given by another rehabilitation organization, the bat was placed on a tree and left overnight in hopes that it would fly away. Thankfully, the bat wasn’t taken by a predator overnight, and the finder decided to give us a call the next morning. 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.
