Hello...another story in exciting April!
A day ago I walked to our laundry. When I walked down the stairs I saw a bat lying on the floor.
I honestly thought it was dead. But when I put on my gloves, I saw that the ears were moving and when I wanted to pick it up, it stretched out. A baby fruit bat.. so cute.
Above the bat was the colony and so she had fallen out. I thought maybe I should hang it somewhere nearby..then the mother will find her. At that moment I thought, just show that I am her to the rest.
So I raised my arm and suddenly 1 bat from the group flies to my hand... the mother!!! Flies on my hand on the little one and made a trembling movement and a trembling sweet soft movement. I tried to take a picture...but I was one hand short..that was "occupied" with 2 bats. After about 30 seconds, the mother and child flew into the forest. What an experience again!!
Greetings from Terry
By the way I thought it was a Jamaican fruit eating Bat, but it is the great fruit eating Bat
I did post a short video from the colony on Youtube
