Batty Batty Bat

One of Herself's kindest-hearted friends, whom Herself has gotten to know through the boon of the internet, has a fondness for all living things -- particularly the less-loved ones such as spiders and insects.  Yesterday she posted to Facebook several videos of rescued bats.  They are so tiny and yet so vigorous in their attempts to grow and live.

One of the bats, 'Lil Drac, was particularly moving.  You can see him here, as well as here.  He liked to rock himself after being fed. We think of times when we have rocked ourselves, too, and we discover a tender spot in our hearts for this fragile, strange, humble creature. 

His story and the videos of him rocking drew the world's attention to the Bat World Sanctuary who cared for him, and aided them in their rescue efforts.  Bravo, little bat, for endearing yourself to humanity, perhaps altering peoples' perceptions of bats, and thereby helping to save so many of your kind.
