Update on Bella, an orphaned short-tailed fruit bat, one of 90 rescued from the now-defunct OBC. Bella's mother abandoned her baby (likely due to the stress of the transfer) so she was hand-raised until she was old enough to rejoin her mom and the rest of the colony. Bella's species is not from this country so she cannot be released. She has a lifespan of 20 years and will spend it with us, in peace and happiness with others of her kind. Donations help us care for the 300 non-releasable bats at Bat World Sanctuary. They all have a story, just like Bella.
