The 'geribatric ward' resident enjoyed a daily routine of assisted flights, sponge baths and fruit salad.
“It is with our deepest sorrow that we announce that our sweet Statler has passed away at the age of 34 years old,” his carers at Bat World Sanctuary in Weatherford, Texas, announced Wednesday. “The bat that took over the internet, the world, and most importantly… our hearts.”
Statler suffered from arthritis, could no longer fly and had only one eye, but he still enjoyed an active routine. “He changed the hearts and minds of people all over the world, and we could never thank him enough for that. He was loved by so many, and we believe he knew that. We are thankful to have the time we did with Stat, and are so glad that he got to live out the end of his life in luxury, being spoiled, and fiercely loved,” it said.Statler died in the arms of his caretaker Moriah while napping in the morning sun, the sanctuary said.
