Weak Bat Keeps Clinging To The Edge Of Crowded Sidewalk Until Someone Stops To Help
Habitat loss caused by human activities pushes many wild animals to the verge of extinction. Some vulnerable species are sent to sanctuaries and safaris to be protected from potential dangers. Other species have to struggle in the concrete jungles and may lose their life due to the shortage of food. The bat weakly clings to the edge of the sidewalk for help. This weak bat asks for help badly.
Recently, a feeble bat was found hanging on the edge of the sidewalk in the streets of Brisbane, Australia. People who spotted him didn’t know what they should do, so they contacted Bat Conservation & Rescue.
When Appleton arrived at the place, she saw the poor animal trying his best to cling to the sidewalk. Her heart was broken due to the bat’s miserable appearance: “He looked so sad and I couldn’t wait to get him warm and safe.”
The animal was so weak that he didn’t react when Appleton grabbed him: “He let me grab him very easily, as he was very weak.”
“Donnie was a total sweetheart,” Appleton shared. “The other bats had to have medication each day in a syringe mixed with food, and once he realized they were being hand fed, I had to make him up a pretend medication syringe to stop him trying to steal from the others.”
When posting Donnie’s photos on social media, Bat Conservation & Rescue emphasized the importance of helping animals facing difficulties. The center also encouraged residents to plant various local trees to provide food and shelter for wildlife.
"Please keep a look out for bats hanging alone during the day as these bats need help,” the conservation stressed. “And please plant locally native species in your garden to help ease these food shortages and provide food and habitat for local wildlife.”
