Bat Facts: All about Vampire Bats
A bat flutters and smack, it kisses Uncle Anthony’s chest. In addition I’ve also seen bats in the same cave in Costa Rica when we were touring around. When we shone our flashlights on them they fluttered around and moved. Let’s learn more about this bat. In this essay you will learn both fun and interesting facts about vampire bats such as what they eat, do and look like.
Vampire bats live off of the blood of cows, horses and pigs. A colony can drink 25 cows worth of blood in a year. Did you know vampire bat babies eat regurgitated blood and are called pups? Vampire bats live in Central America, South America and Mexico. Their predators are owls, snakes and eagles. When in a cave, a colony huddles close, as if they are cuddling. Another fact is that they can fly at 2.7 miles per hour. Also, they can walk, run and jump and have strong legs to help them jump. Plus, they have a special thumb. Vampire bats can live nine years in the wild and up to 20 years in captivity.
Safety: Keep your windows closed at night because vampire bats may bite you if you live in tropical jungles.
Conclusion,
You may think the vampire bat is mean or cute, but one thing stands. They have interesting facts and are fun to learn about. I hope you have learned about vampire bats.
