If vampire movies are to be believed, then the neck. Generally, they aim for parts that have maximum blood vessels in them.

But who believes vampire movies? Vampire bats are thought to have bitten people to feed, and people have been bitten by other species of bat in self-defence when handled badly, but bats do NOT bite humans as a matter of course. If you are bitten by a bat the risk is not from the injury, but from some disease or another that might be carried by the animal, including rabies in some parts of the world.

Why do vampire bats not feed on human blood?

Vampire bats have co-evolved with specific prey species and have adaptations that make them efficient at feeding on the blood of animals like livestock or birds.

Additionally, human activity and sleeping patterns are different from the preferred prey of vampire bats.


Which part of the body is most likely to be bitten by a vampire bat?

The most likely place to be bitten on humans would be exposed skin. These are real animals and like the legendary monster from which they get their name, these small mammals drink the blood of other animals for survival. They feed on blood from cows, pigs, horses, and birds. Though uncommon, vampire bats occasionally bite humans for blood. Rather than sucking blood, vampire bats make a small cut with their teeth and then lap up the flowing blood with their tongues. They must feed within 48 hours or the will die.

Can fish bite in man made lakes?

Yes. A man-made lake is only man-made in the sense that humans formed the depression in the earth in which the water sits. It is not man-made in the sense that humans control the behaivor of the animals. Some fish bite - it's what they do. Putting them in a body of water that was created by Man does not change this habit. All that said, of course humans can control the type of fish that inhabit the lake. If they have only included the type of fish that don't bite, then they have created a lake in which the fish do not bite. Unless that kind of fish is introduced.
