- Trish Wimberley looks after hundreds of orphaned baby bats and rears them until they can be released into the wild. It's a tireless, never ending job which keeps her awake all hours (she apparently went 3 nights without sleeping once). A typical day may include feeding (the food is about $1000 a week), health checks, doing their laundry (the dryer and washing machine electricity bill costs up to $8000 every 3 or 4 months!), bat transportation for release -- everything they need in order to survive. You'd think she'd need an army of people to help but she makes do with only a few loyal volunteers. It just goes to show, motherhood can transcend between all species and Trish is happy playing that role to assist a creature that is vital to the Australian ecosystem.
This video only shows a small section of the hospital. As the bats get ready to return to the wild they are moved to soft release exhibits.

If you're a member of the public, remember never to touch or approach a bat unless you are a registered carer/rescuer and you are vaccinated. Wild bats do not like to be approached as they may see you as a potential predator.

Once they grow up, they will avenge their parents by fighting crime.

They're so adorable! I'd never seen baby bats before
Welcome to your new addiction!

Omg it's like having a little puppy with wings. I never knew bats were this cute!! I want one. :'(
I've always wondered if they would make great domestic pets. They're obviously pretty sweet animals here and they're entirely herbivorous. I wouldn't take them out of their natural environment just to raise them (unless they were in the same situation these cute little guys are) but it's still cool to think about.

Would be a pain to clean up their crap tho. Can't teach them to do it outside like a dog D:
Sour Cream i know this comment is old, but you can’t keep any type of bat as a pet. If will terrify them and they will be bored, they need to live in the wild. They’d die soooo quick if you kept one as a pet
@@raven7146 Raven i agree, bats belong to the wild, they are not Pets!!!!!
@@joshuacarchisilva500 you know how bats stand upside down on trees and stuff? they does the opposite and pee, so you'll only clean the floor
This video was not long enough!!!!
This is a breath of fresh air after listening to so much bad news
I see baby bats and they start chirping and being cute and I CRY LIKE A BABY
+Niko Monster Please dont tell anyone - me too!

"nooooo, leave me alone ! I am vengenace, I am the night !"
do you go around introducing yourself like "I"M BATMOM!!"
I am Groot! :-)
This is an awesome video, I just keep watching it over and over.The last clip of the baby looking up at Trish is so heart melting. Trish Wimberley is a truly inspiring human being.
Elza Regan She's remarkable. A very kind and intelligent person.
I found one of these this morning, lying on the pavement. I thought it was dead, but it made a tiny squeal when I touched it. Once it realised I was a mammal, the little bugger wrapped it's arms and legs around my forearm and wouldn't let go.
So I came home and found lots of info online. It's a my local vet now, where some bat experts will come and pick it up.
It was amazing to see just how similar all mammals are with babies. My dog knew it was a baby and just wanted to lie next to the shoebox I put it in.
I used one of those little fish-shaped soy-sauce bottles as a makeshift nipple, and it drank about 5 of those full of milk in a row. Then it fell asleep.
They relax *instantly* when you wrap them as shown in this video. They love being wrapped up, which is counter-intuitive but that's how they travel under mum's wings.
Now I'm sad I couldn't keep it.
Good on you for helping the little guy (or girl!) out. Most people probably would've just walked away.
Carefully Falling or eaten it.

La verdad impresionante este video, el cuidado de estos murciélagos cambia mi concepto que tenia hacia ellos, como la naturaleza nos da seres divinos al que podemos dar mucho amor.
Polinesios, me sorprendió verlos acá. Los amo mucho
Si son criaturas hermosas
LosPolinesios los amo son los mejores TH-camrs 😍
Son perritos voladores 👌

Canonically in comics, he’s afraid of bats. That fear motivated him to dress like a bat to spread that same fear to criminals.
I think I'm going to Australia now.
Just watch out 4 spiders
Why?
Stephen Byrne Bc these bats live in Australia
I think my heart just exploded from the cuteness.
They're just like FLYING PUPPIES!!!
If I had money I would be on a flight to help you.. They are a joy to watch.
Thank you for your kindness
I think about to have a heart attack from this cuteness
Puppies with wings!
Sign me up, scotty!!!1
BABY BATS SO CUTE!
They r so adorable!
1:06 Dawwww, so cute how it moves from side to side :3
Its like its dancing to the music XD
James Michael Harding the reason it does that is so it is more aware of its surroundings. It helps them to see better
They are so cute the first time I watched this I cried because I wanted one. :)
IKR!!!!
wow, i never new baby bats could be so damn cute.
Yes they are!!!!
be careful tho, vampire bats are NOT cute :/
fruit bats are bats that feed on fruit and that look like puppies, vampire bats have a special look so yeah, careful- vampire bats carry rabies
What a lovely wonderful person caring for orphan bats
awwww, so cute! wish I could help the adorable little flying foxes!
They call bats not flying fox!
Flying fox are fruit bats
+Janlitta F It's a nickname
+Pumpkin Warrior I meant sub species lol
the their looking at you with those eyes you gust wanna be like: aaahhhh STAHP! 😍
0:54 awww....so sweet and adorable! :3
Me:(sounding like robot) Too much cuteness,Cuteness overload in 3...2...1...(big boom with candy and rainbow)
Probably should have concluded the video with the armful of burritoed bats instead of starting with it. That was way too much cute for an introduction. You have to build up to those levels of cute, or you risk cute overload.
I LOVE BATS
I hope they get all the help they need! bats are fantastic creatures and the work they are doing is amazing.

1:06 is little on bobbing its cute lil head 💜 so precious 🥰
Soooo cute !, thank you for saving them. ❤️
God Bless you all for what you are doing!!! We all know that those little things would have died if not for your work!!! Way to go!!!!! :)
That has brought laughter to my evening. Who would have thunk bats could be so adorable xx
Such a truly remarkable woman, I admire her love and dedication to these innocent animals.
They're very cute. Flying foxes right? They have cute little doggy looking faces. Wow I can't believe how expensive it is to feed these little ones. Thanks for helping them.
Вау какие хорошенькие малыши... 😄😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh gosh aren't they such sweet creatures!
They're so cute, i'm tearing up🥹
Adorable. What an awesome lady to save the baby bats.
Какие милые детишки. Здоровья и счастливой жизни Вам и Вашим подопечным.
Aw, I just love this video! Thanks for the work that you (all) do. A little donation coming your way from the USA. Keep up the good work! :)
Every bit helps! Sending bat hugs your way.
They are ALL beyond cute!
They look like little puppies!
Seeing and hearing these Precious babies MELTS me!! I can hardly stand it!! I just LOVE them!!
Какие же все малыши сладкие и доверчивые 😊😍
I want one.
See, problem there is i'm in baltimore and we don't have a center... I still want one though :D jk i'm jk lol
Donna Brooks Ok ok we get it secret agent PETA
when i'm upset, i watch this video. i'm instantly healed.
Seeing things like this gives me hope for humanity
They are precious. It's a shame bats get such a bad wrap here in the US. They kill thousand of insects in an evening, we'd be in a lot of trouble without them! God bless the kind people in this video who love and heal them.
It think vampire bats still tend to get the worst wrap. There are still people who believe the myth that they will attack humans and suck their blood. Of course, we all know that isn't true, and the only time a human would have to look out for them, is if one, or more, were showing signs of rabies.
Kate somethingorother
you are so uneducated it is scary
^Everything she said is fact, so what even are you talking about?
Great!!!! I agree
Love this Video! They are so adorable! Thank you for all you do for them at the clinic!!!!
Adorable de vrai petits enfants sages trop mignons a voir. Merci pour la vidéo. ☺👍💞💞💞💞💕
If you look at them for a while they look SOOOO CUTE!!!! AWWWW!!!!
Awwwwww my gosh their all too cute I'm not afraid of bats anymore
*They're like puppies with wings I want a fleet of them*
Bats are awome and cute
I love the Flying Fox. They are the cutest one and docile.
Recent events have severely impacted the flying foxes. Here's a note from Trish at the Australian Bat Clinic:
URGENT HELP REQUESTED Jan 8th 2014
As many of you may have heard, tens of thousands of flying foxes in South East Queensland have died as a result of heat stress associated with extreme temperatures yesterday. Many thousands of flying fox pups have been orphaned and rescue groups from around the region are working tirelessly to rescue and save those we can at the many camps that were effected.
While rescue efforts continue, we are now in full swing stabilizing and rehabilitating the hundreds of orphans and many heat stressed adults coming into care. The Australian Bat Clinic has received over 220 orphaned flying foxes in the last 24 hours (taking our orphaned total to close to 400) and many more are expected to arrive at the center in the coming days.
We desperately need volunteers to help us with our 24 hour work load over the coming two months.
Both Vaccinated and Non-Vaccinated volunteers are needed with many roles needing to be filled - ranging from flying fox orphan feeding right through to making coffee so to keep our key staff awake!
(Relevant to Australian residents) If you are in the position to assist please send a message to the Australian Bat Clinic Facebook page with the following details:
* Your name
* Dates and hours that you can assist
* Whether you are vaccinated or not
WE WILL CONTACT YOU TO CONFIRM ARRANGEMENTS - at this stage please don't call our center directly as guaranteed we will have our hands full and we are trying to keep our lines open for rescues.
Note - On-site accommodation options are available for those volunteering for 2 or more consecutive days.
If you are not in the position to volunteer you may wish to consider a monetary donation to assist us with our work (you should see our food bill!!!!!). Donations can be made via Paypal on our website www.australianbatclinic.com.au
I wish I were in Australia, it would have been a pleasure and honour to have been able to help out.
Good luck, hope you are able to help as many of the poor little creatures as possible. Thank you for caring for them
those poor dears. that is horrible. im so happy your helping these beautiful cuties live and to help them not go extinct. its sad see animals species disappear. T^T
Hello
Poor babies
I desperately wish I could be there to help because I most definitely would. :( I hope they're doing okay.
Adam Cox Ebola! Ebola!

SHUT UP THE WINGS ARE CUTE AND THE BATS SO LEMME SAY SOMETHING
What adorably cute little things these babies are.
Omg!! They are just too adorable 🥰😍. Thank you Trish for helping these adorable creatures.
1:07 that one was like bitch u cant see me
A strange mix of adorableness with a touch of terrifying. Just a touch though, they're delightful.
I hope they save as many as possible.I've loved bats all my life.
Tiny batbats :3
So cute and so vitally important to nature and us. Without them an entire ecosystem would cease to exist.
LOOOOOVE!
omg i love these bats
1:06 dancing to the music. 😃
Cuteness overload! So adorable!! I would kiss their little noses all day and never get any work done. I love the noises they make, ha, ha! Soooo cute! Thank you for your good work!!!
These are definitely one of the cutest animal that exist :) thanks for sharing! very very nice video!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH /melts of cuteness/

I'm in love with the little bat babies!!!
I can't dislike them for what IS going on, bats are so cute and badass, I love them !
aaaawwww!! so cuteeee!!! X3
Baby Bats
I come to this video when I am feeling sad. These little wonders cheer me up a whole bunch!! Thank you so much for caring for them, it warms my heart to know others care deeply for these majestic creatures.
Glad this video can brighten your day a bit. They are adorable little things huh?
Omg they are so cute! That scruffy one moving his head back and forth for the camera! PRICELESS! ♥️ 🦇 🍌
chinese: nice food wow
OMGSH!!! How in the world did bats ever get such a horrible stigma??? THEY ARE ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless those goodhearted folks for saving these precious, li'l souls. Xx "A righteous man regards the life of animals" - PROVERBS 12:10; "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion & pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men" - ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI; "Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way." - MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.; "I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs... (They) are an obligation put on us, a responsibility we have no rights to neglect, nor to violate by cruelty...." - JAMES HARRIOT; "The greatness of a nation & its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" - MAHATMA GANDHI
Well, some types of bats aren't nearly as cute looking.
Hollywood is the responsible for this.
Julian Motino
No, the stigma was there LONG before Hollywood. Bats used to be considered demonic
PyroGothNerd So it came down to human irrationality.
MrTaurenshaman Doesn't it always???
Flughunde-wie süß...habe ich kürzlich auf TV geseh'n...
Precious babies. If I were there, I too would be a volunteer, however volunteer in my own part of the earth. Bats are an important part of the ecosystem for sure.
i cant believe im watching a vid bout baby bat's. :)
Badass little crime fighters
They are so sweet! You do amazing work by saving them and taking care of them. Thumbs up!!
They look so cozy in their blankies
They look adorable!.. Then the wings come out :/
Since they are wild..shouldn't you cover their eyes when you feed them and not pet them so that they DON"T get used to humans? I've worked at a wildlife centre and that was an important point.
Great video though!
KateB Hey Kate, that's not an issue for flying foxes. While they do bond with carers they much prefer the company of other bats so when they're released they stay with their colony.
Adam Cox But what if someone is rearing a baby bat in isolation? i.e. if a rescue that normally doesn't take in bats agreed to help a baby that couldn't survive on its own, and there was no one else who could or would do it. Do they still automatically form strong bonds with other bats after so much human interaction?
Well...the thing is flying foxes are highly social. They're not solitary so they need each other. If you're going to release bats you do it as a group. Humans and bats are both mammals but bats live in trees or the sky. It's natural for them to pursue that. They fly up to 80 kilometers a night. It's what they do. It's instinct. I believe an isolated bat would recognise it's own very quickly. It's a survival instinct. A solitary bat is more vulnerable.
Adam Cox
Okay thanks for the info! :)
+Privacy Lover It's not uncommon in a less catastrophic/chaotic baby season for individual carers to raise a baby bat in isolation or maybe with one other baby bat. Thing is, the carers don't raise the bat all the way to adulthood. When the babies get to a certain age the carer takes them to something called "creche" where the babies learn how to be big bats. Then they're gradually released.
What helps, too, is flying foxes don't imprint on their carers the way a goose would do. It makes them easier to transfer loyalties or whatever you want to call it.
THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
theyre so beautiful!!
I've been out this weekend with the same crew and a heat wave has hit wild bat colonies hard. To see some images follow this link. They're cute, but they need help! facebook.com/WakaleoAnimalChannel?hc_location=timeline
HI I found small bat about one inch in my balcony and he is not moving and sleeping I found it is alive it gave small moves, I put some drop of milk next to him he had only one drop and change his face to other direction, It is cold I brought him inside and it is sleeping and not moving. I don't know what to do to rescue him also I am little bit scared of touching him. my husband is telling me don't bring him inside as it might bring infection but I don't want he dies outside I am not sure if I keep him in might his mother come in night to take him or no? can you tell me what to do. ?
It is small but it's body has hair we are from south of India
Sonam Dolkar Have a look at this batworld.org/what-to-do-if-you-found_a_bat/

hi
That level of cuteness should be illegal. Such adorable creatures.
Awwww! They love their babas! Poor orphans. So grateful for you guys and all you're doing to help them. Blessings to you all the way from Austin, Texas 💜
Berlin Saint Clair Ive read alot off comments from ppl in Texas! I take it Texans like animals?
And this your honour, is how COVID19 started
that feel when living in a third world country and no one gives a fuck about animals.feels bad.
Live in Trinidad. Know exactly how you feel man. Everyone treats animals like shit here.
Bats are kind of creepy. But omg, those faces are just so cute.
Such unique creatures...
