Baby Bats in Blankets! How Cute!!

Wrapped up in their tiny blankets, the bundles of woe pictured below are surviving on the milk of human kindness. The orphaned baby fruit bats are being raised at a rescue centre after a plague of poisonous ticks swept through their colony.

Used to snuggling up to their mothers, they need to be kept warm and are fed through teats with a sugary liquid full of nutrients.

night time

concourse through air,

outstretched wings touch moonlight,

as star exhale breath of cosmos,

flying

past Orion’s belt that glimmers

above horizon’s hues,

returns to cave,

the bat

Really cool pic, RG.

Bats are not exactly my favourite, but really cute pic and sweet poem.

Here's me thinking they'd be like pigs in blankets - they're cute but not as tasty
