BatWorldSanctuary-Red Bats Grooming.mpg

Orphaned red bat pups hand-raised by Bat World Sanctuary. These bats have beautiful thick coats and spend up to a third of their day grooming. They were released once they were old enough to fly. (Please ignore the typo on the very last frame, which should have read 'his" )

You guys having been having to worry about white nose syndrom yet, have you? I'm just curious because after watching this video, and seeing some of the white on the fur of the red's, I was a little bit worried...

whew, I'm not going to complain when I have to get ready to go out....how cool to see their coats up close and the time spent grooming...(what's even better, I learned why bats groom they way they do via Batworld!!)

This videos easily take my stress away. T^T They are just so precious.

Bats need so much more love than they get!

I'm going to share this around.
