Do Bats Have Rabies?
All mammals can carry rabies. A small number (fewer than one-half of one percent) of bats carry them. Bats bite only in self-defense and if a bat is approachable, it is usually sick. If you encounter a bat in a state of inactivity, dead or alive, DO NOT TOUCH it, contact the City of Fremont Animal Services at 510-790-6630.
Are Bats Dangerous Like You See in the Movies?
No. Bats are non-aggressive and pose little threat. For your own safety, bats should be left alone and should never be handled or touched.
