Jeddah The Bat Squeaks When He’s Tickled

While this is adorable and many of you may want to do it yourselves, even the maker of this video has a strong disclaimer about not trying this at home. Bats can carry deadly and dangerous diseases, and they should not be handled unless you are vaccinated and trained. But hey, so long as handlers upload videos like these, you should be happy.

While Jeddah here loves being tickled and scratched, he is not a pet. He’s under care and supervision due to injuries and he was hand-raised as a baby with the intention of being released into the wild. Nevertheless, he’s only too happy to get some attention from his carer and give squeaks of approval.
