Скачать или смотреть Frightened Bat Chomps on a Banana Following Rescue

A young bat under the care of a Queensland animal sanctuary got over some initial fright at the situation it had found itself in by chomping on a banana to regain some strength.

Footage of the bat, christened Master Dell by Denise Wade, who has been caring for injured baby bats for more than a decade, was shared on February 23.

The footage shows some initial squealing from Master Dell before he begins to feast on the fruit treat. “He’s terribly, terribly frightened, that’s what all that noise is,” Wade says at one point in the video.

Attending to injured bats at her home in Rochedale South, she regularly shares updates on the animals to her Batzilla the Bat YouTube and Facebook pages.

In a description alongside the footage, Wade wrote that the bat was found by a homeowner “hanging on a dividing fence before moving onto a nearby lillypilly tree”.

Wade added, “With no visible injuries but swarming with wingless parasitic bat flies, the jury is out as to why Master Dell was alone through the day.”

She said, however, that he would “remain with us until he is flying well and he is able to continue on with his important pollination responsibilities.”
