They bite animals and drink their blood, this is why they are called vampire bats.
Vampire bats are not found in Africa. True vampire bats (those that drink the blood of other animals) are found in Central and South America. There are several species of bats called "false vampire bats" in Africa, but these bats do not drink blood, they eat small animals such as birds, small rodents, etc.
They are mainly called that because the behavior of the bats was similar to that of the legendary 'vampire' that would suck blood from humans and animals. Vampire bats drink blood (usually only a few drops) from animals.
Most small bats eat insects, and large fruit bats eat fruit. Central American vampire bats walk up to livestock, bite them, and lick several drops of their blood; bats do not drink blood.
