Bats belong to a group of flying mammals called Chiroptera, a Greek word that means "hand-wing". They are mammals because they are warm-blooded, have fur, give birth to their young and nurse them with milk. Bats are the only mammals that actively fly. Bats' wings are skin stretched over their fingers, not feathers.

Bats eat lots of different things, depending on the species. Fruit bats enjoy fruit, spreading the seeds in their guano (droppings) as they fly from roost to roost. Some bats eat pollen, helping to make new flowers. Other bats eat meat, like frogs and small fish, and insects. They use echolocation to find their prey. Some bats can eat up to 500 mosquitoes an hour, helping out humans. There are only three types of "vampire" bats, who drink blood from animals.

Bats like to roost, hanging upside down by their clawed feet with their wings wrapped around them. Thousands of bats can live in a colony, pressed tightly together. Some live in trees, others live in caves. Still others roost in man-made structures, like bridges, old mines, and sometimes houses. People can make or buy special "bat houses" to hang for bats to roost in.

Bats have well-developed senses! They use echolocation to find their babies as well as their prey, requiring really sensitive hearing. A common myth is that bats are blind: this is NOT true! Bats are nocturnal, flying at night when their prey is most active. They also use their noses to find food, mates, and babies.

If you see an injured bat on the ground, do not pick it up! Bats are not pets and should only be handled by professionals. Not all bats carry rabies but you find a sick or injured bat, call local animal services to help the bat.

So many things are dependent on bats! Trees and plants depend on them to spread their seeds and pollen. Humans depend on them to help control insect populations; they are nature's bug control specialists! They also taught us about sonar and bat saliva is being tested as an anti-coagulant. Their guano is used for fertilizer. Scientists are still learning about all the wonderful things bats do for us.
