All about bats
We often think of bats only around Halloween or when we watch horror films when Dracula turns into a bat. However, these little or large black mammals have been greatly misunderstood.
20 Percent of All Mammal Species
In the order Chiropetra there are over 1,200 species which means that bats represent one of the largest orders of mammals. They are only surpassed by the order Rodentia, which has 2,277 species. Megabats and Microbats are the two suborders of Chiroptera.
Megabats are more commonly known as fruit bats or flying foxes. They have excellent vision and love to eat fruit and nectar.
Microbats such as the painted bat of southeast Asia, are characterized by their use of echolocation and have an appetite for insects or blood.
