Ever seen a baby Eastern Red Bat (Lasiurus borealis)? 💕 Your eyes aren't deceiving you... That cinnamon sugar donut IS looking at you! 😁 Unlike the more common Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus), this species of native microbat is solitary, and does not roost in maternity colonies during pup season. Instead, Eastern Red Bats are single mothers who carry each brood of one of two youngsters on her at all times. She hunts for insects on the wing each night, all while cradling her pups to her chest
