"Bats" Frequently Asked Questions
Are bats blind? Nope. Most have small, functional eyes, sensitive to light. They use sight as most animals do, though many bats have enlarged ears to help them sense their environment.
Are Bats dangerous? Well, there is nothing particularly dangerous about bats; they try to avoid humans as most animals do. I do not recommend handling them, however, as some have some narly teeth that will surely puncture skin.
Do Bats bave rabies? Bats, like other animals, can get rabies, however, in general more skunks contract rabies than bats; less than one percent of bats have rabies. If you see a bat active during daylight, which also appears to be acting sickly, I recommend to stay away; you should not disturb bats wherever they may be though. If trapped in your house, call a professional for advice. In the navigation bar on the left, there is a link for "Bat Handling Professionals" (click HERE)
