Bats are mammals that belong to the order of the Chiroptera; they have webbed wings, making them the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight. Among other things, bats eat fruit, nectar or pollen; they also like consuming insects, reducing the need for pesticides, and some of them are "vampire bats" that means they suck the blood of big animals such as cows and pigs. Since they are highly mobile, social, and long-lived, they can readily spread diseases such as rabies. Nowadays,
they are related to the spread of the virus Covid-19, but this is not entirely proved. Bats are found in almost every habitat available on Earth. Different species select different habitats depending on the season: from the seaside to the mountains and even the desert, but mainly they like living in these particular places: roosts, where they spend the day or hibernate, and places for foraging
and pasture. Studies also show that bats make various sounds in order to communicate with one another. In most bat species, females generally have one offspring at a time, that is to say they can give birth to a single pup per Litter. Most. bats are nocturnal because they don't like the light of the day, and... be carefull If you see one of them you mustn't touch it because it could be very dangerous. A single bat can live over 30 years.
In many cultures, including in Europe, bats are associated with darkness, death, witchcraft, and malevolence. The bat is a primary animal associated with fictional characters of the night or villainous vampires, such as Dracula and Batman.
