33-Year-Old Bat Loves to Curl Around His Caregiver's Arm and Fall Asleep | The Dodo
Statler, an Indian flying fox, was born at a zoo in 1987. Since then, he's moved from facility to facility. For many years, he was kept in a small space and used for "education." When he arrived at Bat World Sanctuary in 2018, his caretakers made sure he’d have a happy and peaceful retirement.
To help save more bats like Statler, you can support Bat World Sanctuary here: thedo.do/batworld, and check them out on Facebook: thedo.do/batworldsanctuary.

The caregiver is a GEM, letting him fly around with her assistance, it's people like her that make the world a beautiful place to be....
Totally agree! Bless her heart!
Restores our faith in humanity ❤
🦇 all I see 👀 is covid-19 virus 🌎 🦠
Yes 👍
@@dannyrichards6233 Seriously you still think Covid-19 came from bats?
Statler passed at the age of 34 but I bet his last few years with his caregiver were the BEST years of his life. He crossed the rainbow bridge knowing he was loved and cared for!!!!! Love it!!!!
F 😭
man reading this made my eyes wet
😊
NOOOOO
my heart's broken but i am really happy he was loved and cared for
As a former bat rescuer and carer let me tell that bats are super intelligent, loving and caring. They are just the sweetest creatures.
Thank U for caring for the bats. ❤ All animals are amazing in so many ways
Super intelligent?they live in caves and eat bugs. That's it
Well they are very social animals who literally Hang Around in big groups and sleep
@@AbuHajarAlBugattiI just loved the "literally hang around" bit
I want this rabies carrying bat shot and tossed in the fire.
He’s like a Chihuahua with wings. I am so glad that he got to live to his true potential. That is evidence of the power of love.
Yea and some bats even looks like dogs as a bat! Which is very cute in my opinion.
A chihuahua with wings! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 ❤
Don’t disrespect the fruit bat like that! They would never behave and sound as annoying as a chihuahua
@@Amaling I love Chihuahuas. It wasn’t an insult to me. It’s all about perspective. 😊

Dear Statler passed away in July 2021 at the age of 34. He was preceded in death by his roost mate Chessie earlier that month. So glad that they got to live out their final years unstressed, well fed, and loved.
Sad news - but I am very happy these boys did not spend their last years in what ever misery they escaped. Bats are beautiful creatures.
I am sad to hear that, but was going to happend. I am very glad he was able to live 2 or 3 years in such calm, nice and loving place. He looked so caring.
34? My goodness I had no idea they lived that long. It sounds like he certainly had a nice last few years
@@killerkitten7534 34 is actually extremely old! They usually live 20-28 years in captivity.
Sad news =(
Letting him "fly" was the cutest thing I've seen this month.
Come back and tag the link for the cutest thing you see next month, because I know I'm not the only one who needs more of that in their life lol happy holidays and happy new year!
IM sure the old fellow looks forward to that everyday. Its so nice the waty they have fixed it up for him. I hope he lives a long life. His little claws should never have got like that.
This is how we get new COVIDS. Nutcases!
Adorable.
@@genebrooks5824 do you plan on eating the Bat? No? Then shut up. The bats alone didn't cause covid. It came from the wetmarkets where people ate meat they should not have and there was cross contamination.
This little old man makes me smile and cry. He seemed like a sweetheart. I love flying foxes. They get treated poorly for just being a bat and considered a pest. They are sweet, loveable, adorable sky puppies. I love the trios morning meetings.
All bats are sky puppies ❤
They are WAY more important than most people realize
I love the "geribatric" ward, too funny! What a precious little guy!
This poor guy probably struggled for food and warmth all his life, now in his golden years is gorging like a king in a warm palace and being cared for by warm hands. Having a couple old chums from the same species to "hang" with is a bonus! I hope he lives a long and "fruitful" life.
It's like a little retirement home.
Thank you for giving him a chance. 😍
Beautiful comment 🥲
_OH THE PUNSSS_
Lol I love this comment... it's cute... he "hangs" with a few old chums.. an hopes he has a 'fruitful " life.. very cute
The fact that they hold him and fly him around is adorable. What great caregivers.

It’s ridiculous, this bat is treated better than some homeless veterans
@@wmduav yes but it much more challenging on all levels and resource dependent to take care of the homeless vet sadly. us army vet here.
@@ColinTBlack we have the money and infrastructure, there is no excuse
This one is going in my playlist of favorites! Continue letting him fly like other bats do... let him spread his wings and soar high above trees, mountains and valleys!
wonderfully spoken
I bet the little old boy would tell the story of how he lost his eye all the time if he could talk. ♥️
“shoulda seen the other guy 😼🦇” 😝

He’s found bat heaven: plenty of food, no predators, and very caring assistants! Given his age and injuries, he’s more than earned his peaceful retirement!
He literally did find Bat Heaven…

They should still put him to work once a year to scare the little children on Halloween.
@@Kurt77777 Heeheehee..........

This old batty passed away back in July. He was sleeping on his carers arm and he passed away peacefully, being stoked and loved.
*proceeds to cry*
Awww no way...😢
RIP
😢😢
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing Statler's story with you on utube. So moving the level of care and love you gave him and all those in your charge.
Bats are so vital to our ecosystems. Thanks for caring for these misunderstood creatures.
I never knew bats had this kind of personality. Fascinating.Thank you!
There's many different ones out there. Some can be mean when there's a group of them, or afraid when they are alone. Some have very strange sounds coming from them that sounds out of this earth.
He passed unfortunately and the incredible age of 34 but it makes me happy seeing how good he was treated and that unlike the other places he was kept at(which he was abused) he was actually being loved and taken care of here. It truly is heart warming❤️
So sad that he passed but so happy that he finally knew real love and care xx
I'm so sorry for loss you gave him him life happy years and hearing the tone in the interview he gave that love back. Rip Lil man
@@margaretclark......akamarm2600 agreed
Glad he had a great, comfortable life. rip
I am saddened to hear that he passed away. He lived a long and hard life. But I am happy to see that he experienced love, respect and care that he always deserved in his final stage of life. He was so sweet and lovable. May he rest in peace. I am grateful to have known his story.
He’s like a puppy with wings. Lucky guy to have a loving home.
Thanks to horror movies people have an nonrational fear of bats and think of them as pests. When in reality, the insect eating bats are the most crucial in keeping balance of the insect population.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Honestly, this video has completely changed the way I see bats.
@@thystaff742 nah it’s pretty rational when they were responsible for Covid lol
@@Nightmarenightmarenightmare69 Because that’s the only reason for diseases.
@@Nightmarenightmarenightmare69 They weren't. That was China's excuse. It was actually created in a lab and leaked out, either intentionally or unintentionally.
I worked for a bat sanctuary in Austin many years ago. SO rewarding. Especially teaching people who think bats are creepy and scary, that they are actually loving, beautiful and kind 💜
Thanks for giving Statler a wonderful old age! Cuddles, on tap yummy snacks and cosy places to sleep, plus the friendship of other bats and, most importantly, safety. What more could a bat ask for in their twilight years?!
I’m moved to tears watching the caregivers let this sweet old man fly around. Enjoy the good life, Statler. 😀
It's heart lifting to know there are such kind people in this f ked up world. gives hope for humanity.
Rip drakeo tho
Who named him Statler? Too cool.
Sadly this a dodo re-run and he passed away in July this year. Very peacefully and lived his last years in luxury
Umm that’s not an old man. That’s a bat.
These people are angels. Screw celebrities and athletes. THESE are the people doing important things.
Absolutely!
Spot on cos these people deserve praise and should be awarded for there hard work and helping others in need. Celebs and athletes think they are better and need to be mollycoddle..
Beautiful souls thank you all❤️
People who do such work with animals are contributing so much more to the world than tacky, gaudy "stars" on stage wearing hoodies and screaming into microphones with arms flailing.
You said it!
Thank you so much for this. It reminds me that while there are a lot of cruelty out in the world, there are still people who love and appreciate these little darlings.
These people who care for these animals are all going to Heaven. They've punched their tickets with their amount of love for these animals. It's amazing.
God bless these wonderful people and the animals they rescue!
Got my daily dose of cuteness I had no idea sky puppies lived that long.
Look ♫ Look ♫ Look ♫ 💕 ✨ 😊 May the ducks heal you 😊💕✨ May it spread to everyone 💕✨😊
33 year is a long time, though there was a cat that lived up to 38 years old. Crazy to think a cat lived to almost a middle aged person lol.
Love the term "Sky Puppies"
"Sky puppie" May I use that? 👏
41 years is the record I think.
That's like taking an old man out for a walk but he needs assistance. He's a cute old furry bat man. ❤️ He's so spoiled.
Hello Amanda how are you doing today
He definitely deserves to be spoiled, happy and truly loved.💙🤗
He should be spoiled. I'm happy to see that he is happy and spoiled.
And responsive, plus not alone! All around pretty great
heart felt chuckle over this bat and liked your thoughts too..
The people who care for these animals are heroes 💯
Statler definitely gives a new meaning to an “old bat” … 😁🥳🥰💕
Loved that she let him believe that he could still fly.
Those are beautiful and touching moments watching the two of them flying together. Thank you for sharing what you do. It's wonderful.
yeah haha I thought that too and only cried for.. like only 3 hours or so. good stuff
Awww, yeah me too.
The walking him around so he can "fly?" That's love right there, the very best of us humans.
I've been enchanted by bats from a young age. Thank you for saving this magnificent, handsome boy & giving him his best possible life after captivity. Hope Statler is still with you! Bats are amazingly long-lived for such small mammals (I've heard of a max of 41). Long may he wave! And flap. Geribatric! Love it. I needed this today. Love & Peace to you.
HE'S OUTSTANDING! He's got his women taking care of him. AD❤❤RABLE ❤

Tears of joy and sadness; reminds me of how I helped my 18 yo “puppy” in the last 3 months of her life. Despite struggling to stand at times, she LOVED her twice daily SLO-MO walks.
Seeing him flap his wings while you whoosh him around the room was the most adorable thing I've seen in ages 😄 bless his geribatric heart and bless all of you! 🥰
Reminded me of a dad holding their kid up so he can fly around haha
I'm so glad to know there's a sanctuary for poor old bats. Really cool ladies working there
Oh, pooh! You've got Bats in your bell tower!!😋
So glad he had such a wonderful final years, with love and care. What a sweet bat. 😻😁😻
I love the way he was 'flying' around the facility with the help of the carers, real gems you lot, I love bats, we have a few fly around our house every evening and at dawn. So cute.
This is so freaking adorable. These people, and this bat, are great.
Hello Mary how are you doing today
The caregiver letting him flap his wings and make it look like he's flying was too cute. 😇😊😁🖤🦇

So handsome fella. Blessed be to him and his caregivers
What a beautiful video. The caregiver holding the Bat to fly around is so lovely and genuinely heartwarming. Even Bats deserve love too.
"Geribatric ward"! 🥰 The three of them literally hanging out in the morning is adorable! They're like the old, retired guys who meet up at the corner cafe every morning. ❤
@alyzu I was thinking the same! They are TOOO CUTE! 😁😊❤️
Geribatric😂- When I walk to the beach at dusk the bats come out and catch insects on the fly. They are the most interesting mammals, and now I know that some like to snuggle, and the older ones have infirmities of old age just like humans, and some just enjoy life with their buds in the bat cave.🦇
LOL geribatric, I love it.
🤣 haha cute and clever spin i have to say it out loud and type it...Geribatric 🥰
😄😄I was thinking the same thing as she mentioned it!
Good grief - he's 33, I had no idea they could live that long. Bless him and those who care for him.
I never knew they kinda look like dogs in the face.
There are a couple of birds that live close to 80 years as well
33 is 99 in bat years.
No animal should be mistreated Idc what type of animal it is. They are all worthy and deserve to live their best life. ❤

Biggest issue is rabies but even that is pretty small. They live in our palm trees. But ours are tiny.
I do not have any issues with bats themselves, it is that awful disease rabies. Great animals otherwise.
@@judigrumm7190 not just rabies, problem is bats are "supercarriers" and most viruses and bacteria they carry don't actually affect them much due to their extremely adaptive immune systems. Hence why the "covid from bats" theory has so much traction in the scientific community - virus is in bat, bat and human don't notice, human eats bat, virus spreads throughout human population because the entire time while in the bat the virus was improving reproductive capabilities, "trying" (not conciously) to affect the bat. By the time such a zoonotic virus reaches a human by ingesting or being bitten by a bat, if it doesn't kill the human within a reasonable timeframe, it will spread extremely fast. This is not all bad tho, and the adaptive immune system of bats is being studied in an attempt to develop treatments for autoimmune diseases such as AIDS.
@@alexander-mauricemillamlae4567 that’s the humans fault. Shouldn’t be eating bats as if there isn’t enough food in the world. Some people and cultures love eating everything

Easy, the adorable ones are the Foxes. The ones that eat insects can look scary, especially in the dark. Add to that them being nocturnal and often carry Rabies = monsters. Rabies is no joke and especially before the injections, being close to bats was like playing Russian Roulette..

Flying foxes are amazingly cuddly. Just don't pet them on the back. I made that mistake once while handling a flying fox that my friend's family rescued from their yard during a storm. She (my friend's little sister named her Luna) chirped loudly and then tried to bite me. She immediately made amends by licking my fingers. Altogether, the flying fox moniker is spot-on, because they are indeed like little foxes with wings. The only real difference is that they eat fruit instead of small critters.
I'm glad he's in a safe place taken care of by the right people finally. Good care, good food, even other bat buddies and sunlight. His happiness shows. 💓

Not everything in this world is some cute loveable creature just because a video makes them seem harmless.
