Thanks SO much to for driving over 200 MILES to transport this young male Pallid Bat from Joshua Tree to a LABR rehabber.

Thanks also to the team at
for switching into high gear on short notice to perform a life-saving wing operation on him.

The rare Pallid Bat is California’s official “state bat” and a California Species of Special Concern. They eat scorpions and centipedes and pollinate cacti, so they are one of the few bat species that are both insectivorous AND nectivorous!
