🧛 Vampire Bats Will Not Suck Your Blood.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Three species of vampire bats are known to exist around the\nworld.  These three species of bats do\nnot actually \u201csuck\u201d blood from other mammals. \nThey will, however, lick it up after emitting a bite to a cow or other\nlarge warm-blooded animal.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

🦇 Bats are the Only Mammal That Can Fly.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Many people do not realize that bats are in fact, mammals;\nand on top of that, the only mammals that can actually fly.  They have wings similar to the anatomy of a\nhuman hand, with elongated fingers connected by a stretchy membrane.  They are amazing during flight.  They are fast and swift, using propulsion to\npush forward using their airfoil thin wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

📡 Bats Use Echolocation to Hunt for Prey.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Bats are not blind, but they do not have great vision, especially in the dark.\u00a0 Bats have a built-in sonar system called Echolocation, to help them navigate around at night, and accurately dart and dive for prey. Bats are not the only animals who use echolocation. Dolphins and whales are well-known echolocating species, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

📊 Bats Make Up Nearly 25% of Mammals.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are more than 900 species of bats in the world, all\nbroken up into different categories and classifications.  The Chiroptera Order is the first class in\nwhich bats are categorized.  From there\nthey are split into suborders, genera, and then species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
