Hello my dear friends here is my new entry on steemit platform with a new post my this post will be about Bat which is weird mammal I will show you some interesting information about Bat so let's see.
They live in all parts of the world except in most of the Arctic and Antarctica. Bats belong to the order Chiroptera, which means 'hand- winged A bat looks like a mouse because of its small, furry body. There are 1,000 species of bats classified in about 200 genera and 17 families. Bats are divided into two suborders: Megachiroptera, meaning large bat, and Microchiroptera, meaning small bat.
The largest bats have a 6 foot wing span. The bodies of the smallest bats
are no more than an inch long Bats range in size from a wingspread of over 5 ft (150 cm) to a wingspread of less than 2 in. (5 cm) The world's smallest mammal is the bumblebee bat of Thailand, weighing less than a penny Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight, that is, flight powered by muscular movement as distinct from gliding. A single little brown bat
(myotis) can eat up to 1000 bugs in a single hour that destroy crops and plants. Many people think that bats are dirty and linked with evil forces of darkness.
This is not true. Bats are Very clean animals that groom their wings and teeth daily. Vampire bats live in Mexico and
Central and South America. They do not suck people's blood. They do feed on the blood of sleeping cattle and livestock A vampire bat does not suck blood. They usually walk up to the animal while they are asleep. They then use
their sharp teeth to puncture the skin
and then lick up the blood. Most bats give birth to only a single pup each year, making them very vulnerable to extinction.
They are the slowest reproducing mammals on
earth for their size. Bats smell, hear, taste, feel and see just like people do. The term "blind as
a bat" isn't really accurate. Bats have perfectly good eyes for seeing in the daylight. The problem is, they do most of their hunting at night. Bats feed at night (they are "nocturnal") and spend the day sleeping in caves or in tree tops. The place where as bat sleeps is called its
roost"
