Bats

Bats tend to be divided into two suborders
Megabats are large and eat fruit, pollen and nectar
Microbats live off insects and small animals
Unlike megabats, they have large ears and tails

Of the 1400 plus species of bat just three
Are vampire bats, relying on blood to feed
Their teeth are so sharp they easily pierce through skin
Without the animal even noticing

Bats are the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight
At 60 miles per hour, they're the fastest mammal alive

It's a common misconception that bats are blind
Megabats can see better than humans with their large eyes
Microbats will depend on echolocation
Which omits high pitched sounds that reflects off objects back to them

Their scientific name's Chiroptera, that's Greek for hand wing
Because they have four long fingers and a thumb connected by skin
