Bats can fly, and they are mammals. They are also the only mammals capable of free flight.

There are several basic reasons why mammals cannot fly:

  • Their bones are heavier than those of birds.
  • They do not have wings.
  • They do not have the chest muscles necessary to attain the lift needed, even if they did have wings.
