-Bats are warm blooded.
-Bats have a thumb and four fingers, just like people!
-Bats use their wings for more than just flying. They can wrap their wings around insects or fruit to hold it while eating.
-Bats can be found in most parts of the world -- forests, deserts, jungles and cities! There are close to 1,000 different species of bats!
-Scientists have found evidence that bats have existed for 50 million years.
-Bats feed at night (they are "nocturnal") and spend the day sleeping in caves or in tree tops. The place where a bat sleeps is called its "roost".
-Bats actually hang upside down when sleeping!
-Baby bats are called 'pups'
-The term 'Blind as a bat' isn't necessarily true, bats have perfectly good eyes for seeing in the daylight - but not for hunting at night.
