An extremely rare albino micro-bat rests on a person's thumb after being attacked by a cat. The bat, a "little northern freetail" named Starshine, is recuperating at the Batreach Bat Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Kuranda, northern Australia. Four-month-old Starshine weighs in at just six grams -- less than a quarter of an ounce. [AP]
