Bats floppi g aroun in daylight are 99.99% possibility of being rabid.

Several years ago, I found my kids messing around with a bat in the day. They denied touching it but later said that when they petted it, it went “Grrrr.” They were around five years old. I killed the bat with a limb nearby and put it in a ziplock bag. We sent it off to the state for testing but they said that the individual who had killed the bat ruined the portion of the brain that they needed for testing. They all had to have rabies shots.

Yup! If you see any nighttime critter hangin’ out in daylight; there’s a good chance it’s rabid (bats, foxes, skunks etc).
