Bats: Flying Free

By Snehaa Sundaram | Project Leader

In continuation to a previous update on rescue and rehabilitation of bat pups, we are pleased to inform that all six bat pups [Species: Lesser Short-nosed Fruit Bat (Cynopterus brachyotis) Fulvous Fruit Bat, (Rousettus leschenaultia) Greater Short-nosed Fruit Bat, (Cynopterus sphinx)] were successfully rehabilitated and released. Though the bats were recorded to come for food (fruits) ‘top ups’, however the frequency of their coming and food intake have gradually reduced, which is a good sign to indicate reduced dependence. Most of them were also seen to consume natural food outside.

In the month of October, the team also rescued a common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) bat pup, with an infected eye. Initial few days, it was avoiding food (mealworms) which was proving an impediment in its recovery. After months of intensive care, it has shown good progress and is currently full grown, healthy and flying. The eye also healed well. Soft release of this individual will commence as soon as the weather warms up a bit.

We thank you for your continued support as we undertake more rescues of displaced wildlife, all across India. We are ever thankful to GlobalGiving for connecting us to passionate individuals like you who help us deliver to the cause we are committed to.
