Adorable Premature Bat Battles Case of the Hiccups

A rescued premature baby bat couldn't keep her hiccups under control while being cared for in Rochedale South, Queensland. The baby bat, given the name Quill, was rescued after a passerby found her on the ground. She was then transferred to the care of a volunteer-led sanctuary. The sanctuary is headed up by Denise Wade, who has been https://www.newsweek.com/australian-woman-saves-baby-bats-swaddling-them-and-giving-them-bottles-783151 caring for injured baby bats for more than a decade. Wade regularly shares updates on the animals to her Batzilla the Bat https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChalKOKFNdPgcheruAamx6Q YouTube and https://www.facebook.com/watch/batzillathebat/?tab=home Facebook pages. Another volunteer, named Bec, took primary care for Quill and in the footage can be heard saying that "everybody" who sees the little bat "falls hopelessly in love with her." As for the hiccuping, Wade noted that this is a normal occurrence for baby flying foxes. "She's an around-the-clock little baby, but she's worth it," Bec said of Quill.
