@AustinBatRefuge what truly fascinates me in bats (one of many things) is that wild-caught, stressed-out eat while handled by strangers 🤯 i wonder if some other species do, too...
@krysteburn They don’t eat at first. When first handled (with thick gloves) they are fierce and bravely face what they assume will be their death by predation. It’s only with time and consistent calm kindness that we finally win their trust.
