Tiny Orphaned Bat ‘Lil’ Drac’ is Raised by Hand in Amazing Footage [VIDEO]

You've probably never wanted to hug a bat before, but this video of an orphaned short-tailed fruit bat being cared for by the Bat World Sanctuary may change your mind.

Volunteers carefully hand-raise the tiny bat, whose name is Lil' Drac, by wrapping it in gauze to keep it warm and by teaching it to drink milk through a foam tip. Aww, cut(er than drinking blood)!

Watch Lil' Drac get nursed back to health below.
