Our evening skies are filled with these tender, enigmatic, flying mammals coming in all sizes, from the 2 gram Bumblebee bat to the 1.4 kg. Flying Fox. These highly sociable animals are nocturnal, they have fur, bear live young and the mothers suckle their pups. Each bat colony has its own language to communicate with. Bats are not blind- in fact they have excellent vision but use echolocation to find their prey in the dark. Bats are not dirty, disease-carrying flying rats rather this winged marvels constantly groom, combing themselves using the claws on their front wing or hind feet. Bats are extremely cautious around human beings and tend to keep their distance. There are 3 species of bats that feed on blood i.e. vampires but they only bite into large animals like cattle, they actually make a small bite in the skin and licking the blood from the wound. True rabies has never been found in bats.
