WATCH: Cute Fruit Bat Orphans Bottle-Fed at Hospital

If you think bats are scary or creepy, this video may make you reconsider your opinion of these critters.

A group of 98 baby fruit bats arrived at an animal hospital in Brisbane, Australia after they became orphans.

According to the video from the Associated Press, the bats were orphaned when Cyclone Yasi destroyed tree canopies where the bats normally live, forcing them to forage on the ground and exposing them to deadly ticks.

Rachel Sloan, a caregiver for the bats, told AP it has been difficult caring for them. “Well it’s like a new newborn baby, but you’ve got 100 of them,” she said.
