Pips are among the smallest types of bats at only about 2.5–3 inches long and weighing just .14-.25 ounces. This sweet little orphan is an eastern pipistrelle, also known as a tricolored bat. The precious pip currently is being nursed and cared for at the Save Lucy Headquarters in Annandale, Va. Watch this baby bat drink from a syringe bottle and then receive a washing up from a Q-tip. If you're the type of person who thinks bats are icky, we think this video will change your mind!
