Good afternoon,
In anticipation of the bat walks at the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary this summer, what can be said about the bats there and rabies, please?
This is in light of a concern that was expressed to me regarding recently reported case of a bat with rabies found at Irvine Region Park.
I don’t know the prevalence of rabid bats in Orange County or the relations between bats in Irvine Regional Park, San Joaquin Sanctuary, and other locations in Orange County, hence my question here for anyone who may be better informed.
Thank you, and kind regards,
