Do vampire bats live in a jungle?

Answer 1

Bats are the only mammal that really flies. (Flying squirrels just glide down from a high spot.) As mammals, they are warm blooded, have fur, give live birth, and make milk for their babies. There are over 900 kinds of bats, but only about ten live in northeast Florida. Most of the bats in Florida are small, with wingspans of less than one and a half feet. The biggest Eastern US bat only weighs as much as 17 dimes. Bats are in the scientific order Chiroptera (kie-rop-ter-a), which means "hand-wing." This is a good name for bats because their wings are actually made up of long fingers with skin in between. The skin between the fingers is smooth and strong. It also connects the bat's back legs and tail. The rest of the bat's body is covered with soft fur. Florida bats are usually brown, black, or reddish-brown in color. They have extremely large ears and very sharp teeth. If frightened, they will bite!
