midnasocarina hey everyone in the notes worrying about rabies: this is Australia, we do not have rabies, and we have a lot of wildlife rehab centres, hotlines, and workers. this is not a random person helping a wild animal, this is either a rehab bat who escaped (hence the familiarity) or a wild bat smart enough to accept being helped by a professional who is, btw, using correct handling methods. even if thats somehow not the case, we again do not have rabies. no need to stress :)ALT

I did a quick google search to confirm, and it turns out Catherine Murphy(who took this video) is the president of Townsville Bat and Wildlife Rescue, which is a charity/not-for-profit org registered with the Australian government.

So i think it’s pretty safe to say she knows what she’s doing.

Here is a news article that interviews Catherine. Apparently Townsville had a heatwave and the baby bat was trying to get a sip to drink when she fell in. The bat was kept for monitoring before being released again.
