Bat

A bat (Chiroptera) is an order of mammals whose forelimbs are adapted as wings, making them the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight. They are known for their nocturnal habits and the use of echolocation. 🦇

Bats have a small, slender body with a pair of long, webbed wings that are made of a thin membrane of skin. They have a variety of head shapes and sizes, but all bats have a small, furry body.

Bats are found in a wide variety of habitats all over the world, with the exception of the polar regions. Their diet is diverse, with some species being carnivores that eat insects or small animals, and others being herbivores that eat fruits, pollen, or nectar.

Bats are a nocturnal species that are most active at night. Many species of bats use echolocation, a form of sonar, to navigate and to find food in the dark. They do this by emitting a series of high-pitched clicks and listening to the echoes as they bounce off of objects.
