Frank the white-striped free-tailed micro bat

Adorable little Frank is a white-striped free-tailed bat. Amazingly enough, he was dropped by a crow right beside one of our very own carers as they made their way to work one morning last week. As a micro bat, his body length is only about 6cm, and his diet consists entirely of insects. In this video he's thoroughly enjoying a mealworm :) Many people don't know how important micro bats are to our environment - here in Australia they help keep the mosquitoes and insect population to a minimum, allowing us to better enjoy our outdoor lifestyle. Thanks Frank for your hard work! We'll get you back to the wild as soon as possible.
