The main reason bats stay up high is to avoid predators. Bats evolved special feet and joints that make it easy for them to hang that way for a long time, even while sleeping. Hanging from high tree branches or cave ceilings makes the bats difficult to reach, so being upside down means staying alive!

Their legs have a sort of locking arrangement allowing the animal to sleep or even hibernate without expending energy in hanging on.
