denA lady came to my house and handed over a tiny, wet bat. She'd found him swimming in 6 inches of water at the bottom of a 200 litre (44gallon) drum.
He's a little forest bat, and judging by his size he's another youngster with a shiny new flying licence.I'll have to weigh him when he dries out, but right now he's 3.5 grams. I guess he'll dry out to 3 grams. He's a little thin but not too thin. A few days dry R&R should have him flying again.
What is it about young bats and water? It must be a combination of the hot days and poor flying skills.
Anyway. H bat needs a name.

Hedwig?
Hulahoop?
Hehehehehehe......
I wonder if bats are willing to chase prey (like a moth for example) over a body of water if inexperienced enough (or just determined).
Oh well, it's just a thought:D.

Date: 27 Feb 2003 07:41 (UTC)My commonsence test tells me that the bat weighs as
much as 3 raisins. How big is he in terms of
wing span?
Given that he appears to be a somewhat amphibious bat,
I have to suggest naval aircraft :)

Hellcat

Holmes
Harvey
Hiro (Protagonist, one assumes...)
and there's always the Mayan hero of the Underwold, Hunahapu, but that seems like a big name for a teeny little bat to carry around.
Good luck with H-bat!
