1. All bats are mammals.
2. Bats are nocturnal, a word that means sleep at day, and are awake at night!
3. Bats can fly better than birds ๐ฆ, because of their long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane! The membrane in the wings is called patagium.
4. Bats have sort of a bad reputation to some people. It would mean a lot to me if you told your friends about these facts: it could change their minds!
5. Bats urinate and defecate while in flight, which means they pee and poo ๐ฉ in flight! ๐คข
6. This pic is going to be of a vampire bat! No, don’t be afraid! The mini blood-suckers are not everywhere!! They are just in some places. Now, for the picture!

They would say:
Insects!
Let me tell you a story…
A while ago, we were in the Cotswolds housesitting. (See my blog about the Cotswolds.) We looked after a cat. And the cat was indoor-outdoor. One night, the cat brought my dad a surprise… a not-at-all bloody, dead bat!
The next morning, I awoke to instantly inspect it, with a magnifying glass ๐!
