Amazing footage shows ACRES animal rescuers in S'pore reuniting baby fruit bat with its mom

Bats totally have feelings too.

Now here's some animal rescue footage from Singapore you don't see every day: A mommy fruit bat used echolocation to pinpoint her lost baby bat two hours after being separated.

Basically, what happened was: The baby bat was found lost and stranded by a member of the public, who then alerted ACRES (Animal Concerns Research and Education Society).

ACRES sent its animal rescuers to the scene and figured leaving the baby bat out in the open close to where it was found would allow its distress signal to reach the parent so that it could pinpoint the location.

Sure enough, within two minutes, the mommy bat, who was most likely still in the area, flew in circles to negotiate her way to the baby bat.

The rescuers watched from the sidelines as the mommy bat found the baby bat and carried it along as she flew off.

Kudos to the member of the public who kept the baby bat safely contained prior to the arrival of the rescuers.

By the way, ACRES operates a 24/7 wildlife rescue hotline at 97837782, if the public needs assistance.

Remember, this is only for wildlife and not domesticated animals.
