An emaciated evening bat pup was found clinging onto a wasp swatter by a homeowner in Richmond, VA. Based on the extremely poor shape of the pup, she was likely orphaned and fell from her roost after her mom did not return from a night of hunting. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located several bat trained rescuers in the finder’s area. The baby was transferred to a rescuer where she will be hand-raised and released back to the wild when she is old enough to survive on her own.
