Baturday News is a weekly blog written by Rachael, a 7th grade student and Save Lucy volunteer. Rachael’s interest in bats was sparked by the big brown bats that use the outside of her home for a winter roost. Her family has cheerfully hosted this wild colony for years. Hi everyone! The people at Save Lucy are very excited right now. A new pup came in a few days ago. It’s a Brazilian Free Tailed bat pup. This kind of bat doesn’t usually live in Virginia. The people at Save Lucy are very excited to think that there might be a new bat species living here. The pup came in weighing 5.6 grams. She’s very tiny and very cute. She has an adorable tail! So far they haven’t found a Brazilian Free Tailed bat colony in the area. Hopefully they’ll be able to find on so that this little girl can be released into the wild when she is older. I’ll try to keep everyone posted on her condition. For now, here is a video of the little pup. Isn’t she cute?
Hi everyone. I saw some pictures and thought they were adorable. I hope you like them, because I do. They are all so cute! Here they are. The second image is a digital painting by Art for Bats. The paintings are based on actual photos, and sales support bat rescue organizations.–Ed.

In honor of the World Cup, I thought it would be nice to research some bats from the 2 countries that are finalists. The first country is Germany. The German word for bat is fledermaus. I thought this little German bat was very cute. It’s a picture of a Greater Mouse-eared Bat roost. [photo unavailable] The second country is Argentina. The Spanish word for bat is murciélago. Since everyone is afraid of vampire bats, I thought it would be nice for everyone to see how cute they are. This is a White-winged Vampire Bat. Look at that cute little face!

I hope you had a good Fourth-of-July! I wonder if the bats celebrate the Fourth. They might watch fireworks. Wouldn’t it be cute if they set out a picnic of bugs and worms and watched the fireworks with us. I wonder if they like them or if they are too loud and scary. The bats at Save Lucy had a good Independence Day. The little pups are doing well. A few little juvenile red bats arrived this week. They were very sad looking at first, but are doing better now. Happy Independence Day from Save Lucy!
