Affectionately nicknamed ‘the bookstore bat’, this little brown bat arrived at AIWC in October in a flurry of social media attention! He had been found huddled in the doorway of “The Next Page” bookstore in Calgary, and after not moving for a day we were called in to assist.
Upon examination at AIWC, he was found to be in good health but due to the recent cold snap, a lack food for him at this time of year, and not knowing where his hibernaculum is (place to overwinter) he will need spend the winter with the other bats in care at AIWC and be returned to the wild in the spring!
Your support helps us to care for long-term patients like this little brown bat, and ensure they are able to return to the wild.
