Bats in sleeping bags

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

Bats like to hibernate, but in urban Belarus many are being woken too early by their freaked out human neighbours, and once awake they may die without food or water. Help is at hand from a small bat friendly organization run by Aleksai Schpak who's saving the bats by literally giving them a place to chill, as ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Russian's Tatiana Yanutsevich finds out.
