Three tiny reasons to smile today. 🦇

Meet our littlest patients. Three orphaned California Myotis bat pups were brought to WildCare after they were found in Tiburon. Each one weighs less than a few paper clips, and right now they depend on us for round-the-clock care.

Our bat specialist hand-feeds these little ones, drop by careful drop. It's slow, delicate work and it's exactly what gives orphaned wildlife like these a real shot at returning to the wild.

No patient is too small to matter. Read their full story: https://ow.ly/LJeJ50ZcS5B

Could you be the reason a child falls in love with nature?

In this video, one of WildCare's Terwilliger Nature Guides shows her young hikers the holes woodpeckers drill into trees. This is the kind of wonder our guides spark every day.

Our Nature Guides lead nearly 2,000 schoolchildren on nature walks each year, and with more guides we could reach even more. No experience needed! Training starts mid-September.

Ever wondered what tortoises eat? 🐢🌿

Tortoises like our Ambassador Mohave stick to fresh fruit, veggies, and dried snacks

In California desert tortoises are herbivores, meaning their diet is mostly made up of native wildflowers, grasses, leafy greens, and cactus pads. Their favorite meals often appear after seasonal rains, when the desert briefly blooms with fresh vegetation.

These slow-moving reptiles play an important role in the ecosystem, helping spread seeds and maintain healthy desert plant communities.

Tiny tortoise fact: they can store water in their bodies for long periods to survive the dry desert climate! ☀️💧
