An "Olympic bat" the size of a human thumb managed to fly more than 1,200 miles from London to Russia – only to be killed by a cat.
She weighed just 8 grams (.28 ounces) and was rescued by a Russian bat rehabilitation group but later died from her injuries, according to the U.K.’s Bat Conservation Trust. When it was found, the bat had "London Zoo" written on it – a testament to its 1,254-mile journey. The bat had been ringed at Bedfont Lakes Country Park in 2016 near Heathrow in west London by Brian Briggs, a bat recorder.More Related News
