Classification:
Bats are mammals. Though sometimes called "flying rodents", "flying mice," or even mistaken for insects and birds, bats are not, in fact, rodents. There are three sub-orders of bats:
Megachiroptera (megabats)
Microchiroptera (microbats/echolocating bats)
Monothematic Delusion (Grown men who run around in giant bat suits)
Behavior:
Most bats are only active only at night. Studies have shown that bats make all kinds of sounds to communicate with others. Scientists in the field have listened to bats and have been able to identify some sounds with some behavior bats will make right after the sounds are made. Unfortunately there are certain types of bats who find it hard to communicate even though they are able to speak. Blame it on insecurity or lack of experience (Heh heh). It potentially results in loss of mating partners. The latter species tend to be self and self-centered, commonly referred as jerks-bats.
Predators:
Owls and eagles which hunt at night, are dangerous and the most common predator of bats. Unknown to most people, haughty little princess who spew fire from their mouth are known to torture grown bats to the point that they are extremely submissive. Unfortunately, that certain species of bats willing subject themselves to such punishment over and over again. Sadism, I know. We call those emobats. In fact, emobats are attracted to such punishment in the same obsessive way Michael Jackson is attracted to your 4 year old son. That should give you a rough estimate of the level of insanity that goes through their head.
Everything is true, I swear. Or maybe I should just stop doing my research when I am tired.
