Sunshine the Bat Plays Hide and Seek


Occurred on November 29, 2018 / Gainesville, Florida, USA

Info from Licensor: "I am a keeper and the Development Coordinator at Lubee Bat Conservancy, and as such, I am always on the lookout for the bats being particularly cute or engaging in an activity that would be interesting to explain. After enrichment had been put out one afternoon, I realized that I couldn't find Sunshine, a 10-year-old male little golden-mantled flying fox, in his pen. This is common due to his size, and sometimes it takes a minute or two to find him in the browse. However, I didn't have to search far! A small foot was sticking out above a scrub mat, and sure enough, Sunshine was behind it!"
