14 facts about bats
Bats are flying mammals.
There are over 1000 different bat species.
The smallest bat in the world is the Kitti's hog-nosed bat, also known as a Bumblebee bat. It weighs as much as a dime and has a 6-inch wingspan. Small bats are called micro-bats and are found all over the world. They have large ears, small eyes, small bodies, and use echolocation, and radar, to find food. They eat a wide range of food, including insects, nectar, fish, fruit, frogs, and blood.
Most bats feed on insects, while others eat fruit, fish or even blood!
There are 3 species of vampire bats which feed solely on blood.
Vampire bats have small and extremely sharp teeth which are capable of piercing an animal’s skin (humans included) without them even noticing.
Vampire bats can carry rabies, making their bites potentially dangerous.
Some bats live by themselves while others live in caves with thousands of other bats.
Some species of bats have been detected flying more than 50 miles per hour. That is almost as fast as you drive on the highway!
Bats live a very long time. Most bats live between 10 and 20 years. Some bats typically live to be 30 years old. The oldest known bat was recently recaptured in Europe at 41 years old!
Pteropus bats (also known as flying foxes or fruit bats) are the largest in the world.
Bats usually have one baby once a year. Some bats commonly have twins. Bat babies typically weigh about 25% of an adult at birth. If humans were to have babies that big, newborn humans would be the size of a toddler!
Bats are nocturnal (active at night).
Bats ‘see’ in the dark using a special skill called echolocation. Bats make noises and wait for the sound waves to bounce back off objects (an echo), if it doesn’t bounce back then they can safely fly forward. They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly the sound waves bounce back to them.

Խոզի քթով Կիտտի չղջիկները աշխարհի ամենափոքր չղջիկներն են, որոնք նաև հայտնի են իշամեղու չղջիկ անունով: Այն ունի մետաղադրամի քաշ և նրա թևերի բացվածքը վեց դյույմ է: Փոքր չղջիկներին կոչում են միկրո չղջիկ և նրանք տարածված են ամբողջ աշխարհում: Նրանք ունեն մեծ ականջներ, փոքր աչքեր, փոքր մարմին, և ձայնանային ալիքների միջոցով փնտրում ու գտնում են ուտելիք: Նրանց սնունդը բազմազան է, այն իր մեջ ներառում է՝ միջատներ, նեկտար, ձուկ, մրգեր, գորտեր և արյուն:

I also like to read about them and draw them too.
Maybe you'll think I'm strange but I consider that they are cute.
