Bats are mammals not birds, although they share some avian characteristics.

They are the only mammals that can truly fly. The "flying squirrel" and gliding possum can glide for short distances, but they don't flap their wings and fly like a bat.

Bats have hair and give birth to live young which they feed with milk. That makes them mammals.
