Ninth Post: Interesting Animal

In this post, I will write about a very singular animal: bat. This is a very interesting animal because the bat is able to orient via echolocation, on the other hand, some bats are so dangerous because they can feeding on the human blood: the vampire bat. The bite can cause infection.

The bat is especially common in North Africa, Southwest Asia, and almost all Europe. We can also see it in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. They live in caves and big churches, abandoned places and under some trees.

It is a mammal that is characterized by nocturnal habits, and sleeping during the day. This is a small animal, not larger than 5 centimeters and can weigh approximately three to five kilograms. The length of their wings, stretched be achieved, notably about 25 centimeters.

They are sedentary animals, namely that unlike other animals, they do not migrate or transfer activity have much in terms of habitat. Their average life expectancy is about six years.

The teeth of the bats are so variable. According to the BBC, the morphology depends on the diet. In the world there exist different kinds of Bats: Exist Bats that eat and have a complex molar with irregular surfaces. Some authors believe that this complexity is because the textures of the fruit pulp cause erosion. Insectivores have less complex tooth surfaces. They have torn molars with very sharp edges.

On the other hand, vampire bats feeding on the blood of animals, including humans. Their food is liquid, so you will have fewer but sharper teeth.
