Radar: big brown bat
Big
Brown Bat
Radar is one
of the best looking big brown bats you will ever meet. Perfectly groomed
with long silky brown fur. Also a joy to use in programs, echolocating
and spreading wings when asked.
Radar came to OBC because her wing had been broken, her wing was set in a cast,
but still did not heal correctly. However, Radar is one of OBC's best loved bat
ambassador. |

Vampire
Bat
The Bat Zone's vampire bats, along with most colonies of vampire bats in
zoos across the United States, have perished. We are working with researchers
in Costa Rica to bring back a colony of vampire bats that are considered
a "nuisance" colony and will be destroyed. Your adoption will help
us acquire the funds to bring these bats safely into captivity. |

Gandolf-Egyptian
Fruit Bat
Egyptian
Fruit Bat
Gandolf is the
funniest Egyptian fruit bat you will ever see! He spends his day
flying from bat to bat trying to get them to play with him. When
a keeper enters a cage, Gandolf is the first to land on him or
her and want attention. He was born at the Bat Zone and even as
a young pup loved to have everyone admire him. Your adoption would
help us provide him with a wider variety of food and toys to keep
him entertained. |

Petrie-Dog-faced
Bat
Dog-faced Bat
Petrie is our
youngest dog-faced bat. He is very sweet and outgoing and loves
coming along on trips to present educational programs. Petrie was
named because he acts much like Petrie in "Land Before Time." He
is silly, but is liked by all the other dog-faced bats. He is very
small and enjoys sitting in the palm of our hand. Your sponsorship
helps will help us to enlarge the caging of all our dog-faced bats
and to provide Petrie with his favorite fruits. |
