"So I think what I am going to do is put him back in and let him nap for an hour and I am going to try and release him later on tonight" said Sturges. "Because he has to go. He can't live here."

Sturges says "Shaggy's" chances of survival are good. Red bats are common in the area. One last bat nap in captivity and then it's off again into the wild.
