DFO’s Animals: Bat Pup


Wildlife Conservation Society, AP
A young fruit bat is hand fed by a WCS staffer at the Wildlife Conservation Society's Health Center in New York, Thursday, July 31, 2008. The little female drinks a special milk replacement formula designed to duplicate the mother bat's milk. She takes her "bottle" in an upside down position as she would if she were with her mom.

Question: Isn't it cute?
