Leave it to our daughters to bring more animals to the farm. They found a wounded baby "Little Brown Bat" (That's really what they are called) that could no longer fly, and over a period of days, one of our daughters (everyone who knows the family, knows which daughter it is) has found this bat to be extremely tame, because he truly seems to understand that she is not going to hurt him. The most he will do is to lick her on her arm. He seems to be as friendly as they come, crawling all over her. She collects bugs for him and feeds him all he wants, and she claims when he's hungry he squeaks his "echolocation" chatter, and she goes out and gets him another beetle or any bug that flys around the light on the porch. I really didn't buy it, but while she was holding him in front of me, he squeaked, and she went out and gave him a beetle, and he went to town eating that little thing. I'm really not sure who is training who, but "Batman" as she calls him, seems to be as happy as happy can be. He crawls all over my daughter, and really seems to enjoy his new friend. My little animal lover told me that when Batman's wing heals up, he's free to go. She really has a way with animals, and has a very strong respect for them too. I really believe that she'll be a vet when she's older!!
