Facts

- Did you know that another name for a fruit bat is a ‘megabat’?
- Bats are more closely related to humans and other primates than they are to rodents.
- Bats make up a quarter of all mammals-There are more than 1,100 species of bats in the world.
- Bats can live long enough to outlive your dog. The lifespan can vary, but they can live up to 30 years old!
- An anticoagulant found in vampire bat saliva may soon be used to treat human cardiac patients.
- The pallid bat of western North America is totally immune to the stings of the scorpions and centipedes upon which it feeds.
- Contrary to popular myths, most bats have very good eyesight, have excellent echolocation so they do not become entangled in human hair, and seldom transmit disease to other animals or humans.
- Vampire bats adopt orphans, and are one of the few mammals known to risk their own lives to share food with less fortunate roost-mates.
- Little brown bats can reduce their heart rate to 20 beats per minute and can stop breathing altogether for 48 minutes at a time while hibernating. They may hibernate for more than seven months if left undisturbed, but can starve if they are awakened too many times during the winter, which causes them to run out of energy reserves before spring.
- Tiny woolly bats of West Africa live in the large webs of colonial spiders.
- Frog eating bats identify edible from poisonous frogs by listening to the mating calls of male frogs. Frogs counter by hiding and using short, difficult-to-locate calls.
- Fishing bats have echolocation so sophisticated that they can detect a minnow's fin as fine as a human hair protruding only two millimeters above a pond's surface.
- Male Gambian epauletted bats of Africa have pouches in their shoulders that contain large, showy patches of white fur, which they flash during courtship to attract mates. The Chapin's free-tailed bats have big tufts of white fur on top of their heads, which they fluff up during courtship.

Accepted, feliciabrown11 c: feel free to talk about bats & trivia about them.

I made a (very temporary) CS bat stamp, found in the 3rd post. I'm bad at making them, so of course I'll be looking for someone to make one as a replacement!

I try to learn about them in my spare time. I spend a bit of time just looking up species and looking into exotic pet laws here. I want a bat pet SO badly.

Accepted, by the way. Free to post anything bat-related c: Fruit bats used to be my favorites. I have a hard time picking my fav... but if I were to get a real bat it would def be either a fruit or a honduran white bat.
