Vampire Bat

 

 

 

The size of a vampire bat is 2.5 inches. They make their appearance at night. Bats are brown and black in color. Vampire bats live in dry and wet areas of the rainforest. They also live in caves. Vampire bats prey mainly on cows, horses and other large mammals. They take a bite and lick up the  blood. Some bats eat insects.    

The females of most species of bats have one baby a year. Some  bats  have a baby twice a  year.  A few  species have  up to four young at  a time. A newborn  bat weighs about  a fifth as  much as  an adult bat.  Bats do not build nests and so the infant must hold on to it’s mother or it’s home roost. The infants cling to the mother for several weeks. Female  bat nurse their young for six to eight week.

      Bats preditors are snakes, cats, birds, owls, weasels, hawks, falcons, skunk, possums, and raccoons. Bats aren’t endangered.
