Well, for starters vampires and bats are both nocturnal creatures, meaning they sleep during the day and are active at night. Plus, bats eyesight isn't the sharpest in the day. There are some species of bats that do come out in the day and aren't as nocturnal as other species. As far as vampires go, some mythology claims that because vampires are evil, they cannot face the sun so they obviously must hunt during the night. Answer your question?
Edit- It is a common misconception that vampires even exists. Movies would lead you to believe that human like creatures bite necks and suck your blood really exist.
As for vampire bats. Yes, They typically sleep during the day and come out at night to feed. Bats that use echolocation apparently have terrible eyesight, but can find their way around just like you do in your house at night.
Now, vampire bats really do suck your blood. There has been countless accounts of people falling asleep in their lawn or on a camping trip etc. where they have left their finger tips or toes exposed and the bat uses its numbing saliva and piercing teeth to penetrate your skin without you ever knowing about it, unless someone else sees of course.
No, bats do not eat people. Bats primarily consume insects, fruits, and nectar. There is a misconception about bats due to their association with vampires in folklore, but in reality, bats are not known to feed on humans.
Vampires -as is Dracula- are mythological creatures. You cannot compare their feeding habits with vampire bats! Vampire bats, as you mentionned, rarely feed on humans. But they can. However, cattle and other farm animals offer a much more accessible source of food to vampire bats.
Vampire bats do. Vampires as depicted in the movies etc are not real.
They have been known to. Vampires will go after any warmblooded animal.
Bats use echolocation to determine where they are going.
Vampire bats feed in the dark because that is when their victims are less likely to notice them. The bats see better at night and the temperatures are cooler, so they to regulate body heat less.
not all vampires feed in the dark
vampire bats: yes vampire: no, they feed when they're hungry. light or night.
If the myth of vampires tells us that they may not come out in daylight, then they would have no other option than to stalk their prety at night.
They don't HAVE to feed in the dark. They can feed any time. Its just that covert activities are better accomplished in the dark - and what is more covert then stealing blood?
No. While one group known as vampire bats do drink blood, they are not vampires in the mythological sense. Most bats feed primarily on insects, while others feed on fruit.
mostly dark caves
Yes.
vampire bats are nocturnal so that is when they are awake Vampires, if you go by the way they are in Dracula, can go out in day, but lose their powers (no sparkling). Because of this, they usually only go out at night when they are strong, but they can go out in day if needed. So they only feed at night when they can use their hypnotic powers.
Vampires turn to dust in the light. That is why they sleep in coffins.
They can because they hate the light and its the only time they can come out.
