Lesser Long-Eared Bat
17 March 2010 17:47I have a bat! She is in for a few days of R&R then I'll let her go when I'm sure there is nothing wrong with her.
Note the gloves! This species is a confirmed carrier of lyssavirus - one LLEB was found with it, but no others so far. Even so, you have to be careful.
She doesn't like being handled.
