There was a tiny fruit bat (size of my palm including wings) that got hit by the fan and could not fly because of the slit in the tail. Had to pick it up and medicate it until it was able to fly confidently.

Wings vs. Wings!

Tiny bat on wing,

Tried to go through running fan,

Got its small tail cut!

Tail Treatment!

————————————————————————————————

The bat with tail split,

Ate tomatoes and mangoes,

To recover well!

PS: Ccould not forget the number of times it tried to bite my skin off on the first day, while trying to rescue it. It was funny to see the little guy hanging from my hand while the only contact was its teeth chewing on the skin! It was never sharp enough to draw blood though! From the next day, somehow it realized that I am there to help and cooperated!
