Do Bats Cause Rabies?

As the number one carrier of rabies in the United States, all bats probably have rabies, right? Actually, no. It is estimated that less than two percent of bats are infected with rabies. If you see a bat during the daytime, though, consider that bat to be more likely to be infected, since an estimated 15 percent of bats found outside in the daytime are likely to be ill. Why? Because as nocturnal animals, bats are rarely seen outside in the daytime. If a bat is away from his nest, there is a greater likelihood that it is ill and should be avoided.
