With many, many species that are not the regular species we deal with, we do have to adapt and transfer knowledge we acquired from one species and see if it can be used in another and that's something that any vet who deals with a lot of zoo animals and other exotic animals is used to try to work in that way.\"\u003cbr/\u003e21.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ian Green, Veterinarian\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think bats have suffered from a poor image in the past, very unfairly. I think there are probably quite a few people who are frightened of bats, totally needlessly, they're fascinating creatures, they're harmless creatures, they add to our environment, they fill an ecological niche. The world would be a poorer place without them.\" \u003cbr/\u003e24. Various close of bat with large ears\u003cbr/\u003eBats seem to suffer from an image problem, around Halloween when they are associated with witches, blood sucking vampires and haunted ruins. \u003cbr/\u003eIn reality they are often the victims of attacks by other animals like cats or injured by building works or cars.  \u003cbr/\u003eA Bat Hospital, run by a bat loving couple from a spare bedroom of their house, provides injured bats with a refuge where they can be nursed back to health and return to the wild.  \u003cbr/\u003eFrom the outside it looks just like any suburban house but a closer inspection reveals something different.\u003cbr/\u003ePart of this house has been set aside for bat aviaries where sick and injured bats are cared for and nursed back to health.\u003cbr/\u003eThe people behind this project are bat lovers Graham Street and his wife Donna, who live of the Isle of Wight. \u003cbr/\u003eGraham Street says they have converted one of their bedrooms into a 'bat hospital' where they care for the injured animals.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Bat Conservation Trust says there are seventeen species of bat in the United Kingdom, all of which are protected by law because their numbers have decreased so dramatically.\u003cbr/\u003eLuckily the Street's have a very high success rate at their hospital. \u003cbr/\u003eAbout seventy five percent of the bats they care for are returned to the wild.\u003cbr/\u003eGraham Street says most of the injuries they see are caused by cats and sometimes cars.\u003cbr/\u003eThe family runs a 24 hour service and can be called out any time day or night on a rescue.\u003cbr/\u003eDonna Street is equally dedicated to the bats and at times has to be up day and night providing constant care especially for the babies who are fed on milk.\u003cbr/\u003eShe says each baby bat requires about five weeks of care.\u003cbr/\u003eOlder bats are fed on meal worms which are beetle larvae.  \u003cbr/\u003eThis is the closest food to what they would eat in the wild.\u003cbr/\u003eSadly some of the bats are too injured to ever be released and remain at the hospital as long term patients.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Street's hope to educate the public about bats and their importance to ecosystems.\u003cbr/\u003eAlso lending a hand in caring for bats is Veterinarian Ian Green.\u003cbr/\u003eHe says caring for bats is not what many vets do everyday, and he had to do some research beforehand.\u003cbr/\u003eNonetheless, Green is now involved in helping the small mammals and has become an expert.\u003cbr/\u003eHere he shows an x-ray of a bat suffering from a fractured wrist.\u003cbr/\u003eGreen says bats fulfil an important role in nature and the world would be a poorer place without them.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Bat Conservation Trust is one of the UK's leading charities concerned with protecting the animals.\u003cbr/\u003eThe charity's main aim is to protect the bat's bio-diversity and enhance their numbers.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Bat Conservation Trust  says that bats make up almost a third of mammal species in the UK and are indicators of healthy environment. \u003cbr/\u003eMost bats eat insects while others feed on fruit.\u003cbr/\u003eThe smallest bat found in the UK is the pipistrelle which is just five centimetres long. \u003cbr/\u003eKeyword animals
