Rescued Baby Bat Stuffs Her Cheeks With Banana After Being Hit By Car, And This Video Will Make Your Day
Has life got you down today? We’ve got exactly what you need to turn it around – a baby bat going absolutely HAM on a banana until her tiny cheeks are stuffed to the brim.
The young flying fox, lovingly named ‘Miss Alicia,’ was rescued in Queensland, Australia, after a scary encounter with a car left her in need of urgent care. She was taken into the loving arms of bat conservationist Denise Wade (Batzilla The Bat), and is poised to make a full recovery with no major injuries sustained. She’s also still managed to look adorable as hell in the aftermath, if you haven’t noticed.
While little Miss Alicia was resting and recharging, swaddled in a cozy blue towel, Wade shot a video of her feeding time. Given the fact that flying foxes have a known sweet tooth (their diet consists mostly of fruit and nectar), you can imagine how Alicia reacted when a fresh banana was presented to her. Scroll down to see the precious clip for yourself, and tell us in the comments if you’ve actually ever seen anything cuter.
This is Miss Alicia, an adorable baby bat who wound up in a scary situation one night in Queensland, Australia
She was hit by a car, but was mercifully rescued by the driver and rushed to get the urgent care she needed
Thankfully, she sustained no major injuries, and it turns out she really, REALLY likes bananas
Like, a LOT! Just watch this incredible video if you don’t believe us
Her caregiver was Denise Wade (aka Batzilla The Bat), a flying fox conservationist
“There are a few rescue scenarios that make me cringe… one of them is a vehicle strike”
“However, on this occasion we have a happy outcome and with no broken bones and only a slight concussion”
“Miss Alicia will spend a short time in care before being released back to her colony”
The Internet loves her just as much as we do!

You know you can be a dog AND bat lover! (though always love the dogs a bit more)

I was actually in tears after reading / watching this... I am a Bat Lover to begin with and am askways reading articles, researching bats online... But, this was the most precious tbing I have ever seen... Literally brought tears to my eyes... Maybe I shoukd have been a Bat conservationist... 💙💙💙
That's the cutest face I've seen in a long time. Especially stuffing her face with bananas. Bats are no pet, but you get an urge to get a bat when you see something this cute.
HOW CAN ANYBODY BE SCARED OF THESE FUZZY FLYING WATSITS MY GOD IT IS ADORABLE
most "scary animals" are cute when looked at from the right perspective. Pet rats for example! Baby hyenas!

Visiting Batzilla on facebook is a highlight of my facebook time. Mostly happy, totally cute, worthwhile cause.
I won’t lie. Fascinating but slightly creepy. I think it’s because I never really looked at a bat that close before. It really loved that banana, huh?
She's very cute. I just worry she's eating too much at once. Any sensible person wouldn't offer her more while her mouth is full! She'll choke.
so cute, awwwwe, I would hug it, but at the same time I wouldn't want to accidentally crush it's little wings
Thank you for sharing-these guys are amazing...I just donated $20 to a go fund me site they have set up to help offset the cost of caring for these marvelous creatures..there is some kind of local development that is causing a significant disruption in the habitat of these guys and really increasing the influx of orphans here is the gofund me page if you can help! https://www.gofundme.com/4m5qayg
Bats are one of my favorite animals. We love to walk at dusk when they fly in our neighborhood.
And who says that we are any more important than them? To us we are but to them? Is there something so fundamentally better in us that this creature should not live? I am not saying that people are not important or that bats are more important than us, only that we should stop thinking of ourselves as the MOST important.
