Caring for the Oldest Bat in Captivity
From the moment you see this bat "flying" while a caretaker holds him aloft, you have to love Statler. He is a 33-year-old one-eyed Indian flying fox, believed to be the world's oldest bat in captivity. The odds of a bat living that long in the wild are pretty small. But after a lifetime of shuffling from zoos to menageries to other institutions, Statler is now getting the best care possible in his retirement.
