- Meet the world's oldest BAT - who is too old to fly but loves being carried outside for a sunbathe. Statler is a 33-year-old fruit bat and keepers believe he's oldest living in captivity, because most of the species don't live past 20. He spends his days in the 'geribatric' ward at Bat World Sanctuary in Weatherford, Texas, USA with around 20 other senior citizens.

Probably one of the sweetest things I've ever seen - carrying a 30 yr old bat so he can pretend to fly. That is next level empathy and care.
Walter in Australia was close to his age....he passed this year from congestive heart failure...and Mandi used to "fly" him around just like you do!
Statler is a lucky bat to have such kind caretakers. Fly high Statler, if only in your dreams!
I love you sharing him. Being treated like a king in his older years must be a dream for him. Thank you for taking such good care of him and allowing us to share his happiness
You are the coolest people in the world for enriching and maximizing the autumn years of a geriatric bat. I'm entirely sincere when I say this. Holding him up as he flaps his wings and walking him up and down the hall so he doesn't forget how he used to fly is masterful nurturing.
So sweet helping him to fly and then he got tired
omg, what a sweet and precious little soul.
I love bats and people do not realize how important they are. To see this elderly guy get love and help is wonderful!
this is older than some of the existing people
Look at him - soaring high, as he should have been, and it looks like he has a very healthy appetite - he must've worked it up flying around, surveying his kingdom. God love ya, there's a special place in Heaven for all of you!
So adoring seeing him "fly" around and getting his favorite fruit before enjoying cuddles in the sun. I just love bats, and it makes me seriosly mad to learn about his abuse. May he have the best time a bat can have until we meet again across the rainbow bridge; in a distant future oc. Take care and thank you for sharing!
He's so sweet, I just love him.
That is so sweet and glad to see him so loved.
I love watching him on there UA-cam channel.Such a sweety
He deserves to enjoy his time in peace and to be pampered a little!
He certainly deserves the care he is now getting after 30 years of abuse.
Very Beautiful sweet cute Bat 🦇
Aww, God bless him! He's beautiful! 🙂💖
I love how they're flying her, like the rescue did with Statler, the elderly bat who could also no longer fly.
Aww, I'm so glad Statler is spending his golden years in love and comfort. Shoutout to all the Walter fans out there, too! (Walter was a 28-year-old flying fox down in Australia; I got to know and love him via Megabattie's UA-cam channel.) RIP, Walter! ua-cam.com/video/IdNsbQV_-6I/v-deo.html
@@jimclayson I tried to look on their channel I don't see anything
Walter fan here. I miss him but we still have Teddy.
Love for Bats and you ! ❤❤
Awwwww, what a precious soul! Thankfully he knows now that life on earth can be kind and loving. (I don't understand why anyone would dislike this video!)
He beats Walter ( RIP) by a couple of years. Both marvellous old men
Sorry to hear about Statler passing away. At least he was outside enjoying the sun in the arms of his caretaker. May you fly free with your friends, Statler 🦇🦇
Oh my heart has melted!!❣️❣️ Statler is so beautiful and watching him enjoy the sun, a Carer flying him around and his very own fruit bowl to nosh out of, was so heartwarming.The Birthday celebration was beautiful!🥹🤎🦇💓
So cute!!! Fly, old boy!
Wonderful! I’m so happy he gets specialised care.
That Lady keeper & ALL the rest of staff are wonderful, kind, DOPE!! for their dedication & caring. Thank You.

Hope ur not in the floods that are going on right now
Wear gloves when handling bats
These handlers are vaccinated, so they don't have to worry if they get bit.
