'Who knew bats could be found in such unexpected places?'
Although this was a rare sight for the Stomper, bats are actually native to Singapore and can be found in the island's forests, parks, gardens and urban areas.Bats are generally harmless and are a crucial part of both our urban and natural landscape.NParks highlighted that if members of the public come across bats that are injured, distressed or trapped, they should call their Animal Response Centre at 1800-476-1600.
Avoid handling the bat yourself as this may cause further stress or injury to the animal and they may bite in self-defence. Also, do not put food out to feed bats as they have sufficient naturally occurring food that is healthier for them than processed human food.There have been no cases of sicknesses transmitted from bats to humans in Singapore.Get more of Stomp's latest updates by following us on
