Johnny Depp adopts a bat, names it Jacki Sparrow

Johnny Depp recently adopted a bat and named it Jacki Sparrow, after his character in his movie Pirates of the Caribbean. Not only that, he also paid for Jacki Sparrow’s medical care at the hospital. The actor found the bat close to the place where he was shooting for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

Trish Wimberley, the director of The Australian Bat Clinic shared the incident. He said, “He was very interested in it (Jacki Sparrow) and so we asked if Johnny would like to sponsor her (it), because we do sponsor little babies and he said yes. We're going to be sending Johnny an adoption certificate and little update photos, which is what we normally do with our sponsors”.

Depp is in extreme love with his pets. He might even face a ten-year jail term for illegally bringing two dogs to Australia, where he currently shooting for Pirates of the Caribbean 5. He flied to the country with his Yorkshire Terriers, earlier this month, breaking strict quarantine laws of the country.
