PHOTOS: Bats return to the wild

After spending the winter months hibernating inside a fridge at a rescue center in Belarus, a group of bats have awakened and are being released into the wild. To ensure a good winter's sleep, each bat was tucked inside a cloth bag by volunteers at the center then hung up inside an ordinary domestic fridge — giving them just the right temperature and amount of moisture. The Kozhanopolis center, which is located in Minsk, takes in bats that are found by members of the public after struggling to find a safe place to hibernate.
