What is the specie of bats?

Answer 1

There are three possible answers for this: 1) the "specie" (money in the form of coins) that bats use, 2) the BATS Global Markets, or 3) the species of bats.

Assuming #1 - the only bat known to use specie is probably Bruce Wayne. Considering his nationality, he most likely uses US Coins such as silver dollars, gold coins, dollar, half-dollar, quarter, dime, nickel and penny specie. Other bats are unlikely to have much interest in specie since they are not edible and don't make good nest building materials.

Assuming #2, "BATS" (Better Alternative Trading System) is a stock exchange located in Lenexa, KS. It trades in stocks and stock options. Since it is based in the US, the standard currency used for pricing is the US dollar - so it could be said that the "specie" of this type of BATS is US coins.

Assuming #3 (which is probably the right one considering the category it was listed in) - Bats are:

Kingdom:

Animalia

Phylum:

Chordata

Class:

Mammalia

Infraclass:

Eutheria

Superorder:

Laurasiatheria

Order:

Chiroptera

Within the Order Chiroptera there are about 1,240 bat species divided into two suborders: the less specialized and largely fruit-eating megachiroptera (megabats) or flying foxes, and the more highly specialized and echolocating microchiroptera(microbats/echolocating bats).

Not all megabats are larger than microbats. The major distinctions between the two suborders are:

• Microbats use echolocation: megabats do not with the exception of Rousettus and relatives.
• Microbats lack the claw at the second toe of the forelimb.
• The ears of microbats do not close to form a ring: the edges are separated from each other at the base of the ear.
• Microbats lack underfur: they are either naked or have guard hairs.

Megabats have a single family, Pteropodidae, and 7 subfamilies with 186 total extant species.

Microbats have 7 superfamilies and 17 families and include most of the bat species.
