Info from Licensor: "The little bat that I found in June at a campsite. I think it's really cute. If it weren't for the fear of disease, I would have kept it as a pet or picked it up with my hands, but I didn't touch it directly, just in case... And also so as not to cover up its smell in case it was a baby. I put it in a little box high up under the nest that was on the roof of the campsite (there were a lot of them flying around) and to see if its mother came to get it if it was a baby and if not, then it would fly away. I don't know, I'm not an expert. The next day, neither the box nor the bat were there, so I don't know what happened to it. The people at the campsite told me that there were experts coming to check on them often and that there were about 800 in the nest and they were some kind of very small bats. Anyway, I really fell in love with this little guy. I hope he's okay even though I'll never know."
