Should I be worried about him/her being out in the daytime? I think we have a colony in part of our roof. Should I have them relocated or.. just leave them be?

Estava passeando com a minha cadelinha e ela pegou esse morcego na boca e eu berrei, ela soltou. Isso tudo foi questão de 5 segundos.
Tirei a foto depois, pelo que imagino ele já estava morto antes de ela ter pego. A foto representa que ele recém havia sido morto ou o quê?
Minha cadela tem as vacinas em dia (inclusive e especialmente a da raiva), e eu levei na segunda-feira fazer dose de reforço. Além disso, ele foi recolhido para teste, mas me falaram que demora em torno de um mês.

Minha cadelinha não apresentou nenhum sinal desde então, mas estou em SURTO com medo de ela ter pego raiva e que eu também pegue. Alguém já passou por algo parecido?

This went on intermittently all day, ratta-tat-tat-tat, under the front eave. Then it left, as bats do.

These are my big brown bat mommas! A few weeks ago we found a baby in the basement & I drove 6 hours to bring him to a rehabber! The rehabber informed me that he was a big brown bat, a male baby. Last I heard, he's doing quite well & growing quickly with his adoptive family. The other orphaned babies she had were all girls, he was the first male of the season!

Since then, I've been spending a lot of time watching these guys. They've been coming here since before I moved in (it's a duplex, I rent) but I never really paid them any mind beyond yelling at them, "be quiet, guys!" when I was trying to sleep! Their colony is right outside my window & they can get very squeaky.

I guess since putting a "name to the face," (knowing what species they are & reading about them) I've found I really enjoy my big brown bat family. From what I've read, I guess this must be a maternity colony. They're my girls. I've been working on building up a native planted yard, & I really want to focus on host plants that support moth species for the mommas. I'd also like to put up houses for them in the boxelders that surround this property...it would probably be good to convince them to move out, right? I think I would miss them, though!

I've really grown to love them. You know they usually only have 1 baby a year? & they can live over a decade! I think it was easy for me to think of them as flying mice, with short, fast lives. I mean, I always knew they were important, but thinking about how complex their little bat societies are, seeing my baby bat all emaciated & still calling for help in the basement, his mom answering but unable to get to him, it awakened a deeper bat appreciation in me. I wish there was a way I could tell her that he's okay, he's hundreds of miles away but has a whole new population of big brown bats to contribute to- once he's ready to fledge, that is.

Now every night when I hear them chittering I say, "good luck tonight, ladies!"

Can anyone ID this bat? It looks like it’s missing it’s eyes and I was curious.

Hello. From Sussex County NJ and I have never seen so many bats in my life. I walk my dog after my kids bedtime around 8pm.

They fly like 20 feet from my head.

Bat bites are rare, but when should I worry?

I'm nervous, I touched bat urine will I be okay?

Not much else, but I tought it was cute

Hey all,

I work at a retirement home as a receptionist and recently a bat was found in one of the residents rooms. We are unsure of how this happened, but had to act quickly. I was the only one slightly prepared to handle it, and caught it to release it (better than the other options)

I had no other option than to let it go outside even though its not dusk. (I wore a borrowed sweater, two pairs of latex gloves and used a hand towel to gently wrap it, so no risk)

I feel really guilty and will do better in the future for the animal.

I am trying to identify the bat, so if I find another and they're endangered and can perhaps take better precautions/notify the proper people. Im hoping its a brown bat and not a myotis, cause then I will feel extra bad.

I live in Ontario Canada, near Ottawa if that helps for narrowing down the species.

EDIT: SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR BABIES IN THE RESIDENTS ROOM?

This map, Vespertilioninae - Land of Vesper Bats, contains every known living species of vesper bats I could find reliable taxonomic data for. Species are represented as cities, grouped into genera and tribes according to their evolutionary relationships.

Science, design and cartography merge in MAPPA ANIMALIA, a visual project that reimagines the evolutionary relationships of animals as detailed map-like landscapes.

MAPPA ANIMALIA is an ever-growing series of illustrations I’ve created that currently consisting of 16 different maps - each dedicated to a specific family in the animal kingdom.

Instead of political borders or geographic territories, these maps are structured around phylogenetic trees.

Tribes and genera replace countries, states and regions allowing viewers to explore the animal kingdom through a format traditionally used to understand geography.

Additional information includes conservation status, size comparisons between selected species and a species index.

I’ve spent roughly ten years developing and refining this concept, combining zoology, taxonomy, illustration and cartography into a single visual format.

Happy exploring!

Im kinda curious, chiropterologists, do you think theres more bat eating bats? I know of like 4.

But for me it doesnt seem likely, firstly because they dont really need to prey on other bats because unless theyre really big and secondly because of disease transmittion (different bat species tolerate different diseases and viruses).

North Florida. We have a nightly concert in the chimney. I have assumed it's bats, but my daughter is here tonight and says it has to be birds.

Charlotte, NC. This bat is hanging out under the front eave of our house. Problem? Will he move on tonight and is just taking a rest? We had bat in the attic years ago and sealed the house up like a glove so I’m not terribly concerned about him getting in, but my kids play outside and i don’t love him hanging around.

Little dude found the lowest “ledge” to hang from lol 💜
