Sock Mom
This week on THE ZOO, you watched the story of a Rodrigues fruit bat whose mother could no longer care for it. That’s when our Wildlife Health Center staff took over to care for the youngster.
So how do you clean a baby bat? By fashioning a sock-mom, of course. Read more from one of our keepers on our photo blog WildView and enjoy photos of the baby with the sock-mom and staff, below.
