Canyon bats have 2 modes: piggie and food coma. 🐷😴🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #smol

Duchess the western mastiff bat loves to look around while eating. She's one of the few bats who make regular eye contact with us. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals

Teensie canyon bat friends. They are about 4 grams each and just a few inches long. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals

Throwback to sweet (and sometimes bratty) Eddie the Mexican free-tailed bat. Eddie was born here and then released when he was full grown. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals

Throwback to the Allen's big-eared bat that came to us. Arizona is home to many remarkable ears. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals

Dis is my worm! Butch is 3.5 grams of fierce canyon bat. Don't mess with him! 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals

Repeat PSA: Don't use glue traps/fly paper! This Mexican free-tailed bat got lucky but many don't get saved. Please let people know that glue traps of any kind are inhumane and dangerous. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals

Arizona is home to 5 species of free-tailed bats (family Molossidae) and we currently have 4 in care. They definitely look related but when they are all together you can really see their differences. They are all very mellow, gentle, and social bats. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals

Please welcome our newest bat, a big free-tailed bat (N. macrotis). She came to us from Nebraska Wildlife Rehab. They assume she was blown off course during a storm. Since they aren't found in NE, they brought her to us for release. For now we have 4 of the 5 species of free-tailed bats in AZ. 🦇

This sweet western red bat female got dislodged from her home after a storm but will be going back out into the wild again shortly. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife

Hoover the Mexican free-tailed bat has the fastest snout in the west. (Or at least one of them.) 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #snout

BATTLE OF THE FLOOF! Who wore it best? 1. western red bat 2. hoary bat 3. silver-haired bat 4. western yellow bat 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #floof

How perfect is Duchess on a scale of 100% to absolutely perfect? Duchess is a western mastiff bat, the largest bat species in the United States. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife

We can't get over the floof! This beautiful silver-haired boy will be released this weekend. Be well, little one! 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #floof

Happy Bat Week! Bat Week runs from October 24-31 and is a great excuse to talk to people about bats. 🦇

Side eye game: master level. You'll have to turn the sound all the way up to hear his delicate munches. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #asmr #asmreating #asmrsounds

Polly the pocketed free-tailed bat making that last bite really count. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #asmr #asmreating

We're nearly certain that Rosie (right in 1st pic, left in second) is a pocketed free-tail like Polly but can't be 100% sure until she's full grown. What do you think? 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #babybats #babyanimals

Nearly all grown up! Hard to believe those little naked chicken nuggets are almost adults! 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #babybats #babyanimals

In case you were wondering why Zora's species is commonly known as spotted bat. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife

PLEASE TURN OFF OUTDOOR FANS AT NIGHT! Fans can injure or kill bats. This California leaf-nosed bat has some head trauma from a fan run-in. Please keep any outdoor fans off all night even if they don't have lights. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife

Egon the yellow bat has the cutest little munches! 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #asmr #asmreating

Pup gossip at the water cooler. 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #babybats #babyanimals

🦇 Bats are rumored to sleep the whole day but we usually find the little ones jostling and grooming in their kiddo clump at any time of day. They must catch many little naps in-between shenanigans. #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife #babyanimals #babybats

It looks like Zora the spotted bat is giving a speech. What's she talking about? 🦇 #bats #arizona #wildanimals #cuteanimals #wildlife
