only bats are mammals. a bird is a bird which is a whole other animal group.
If one fourth of the mammals on Earth are bats what fraction of mammals are not bats?
If one fourth (1/4) of the mammals are bats, then the mammals that are not bats would be 3/4 of all mammals on Earth.
Rationale:
The whole is (all the mammals on Earth) = 4/4,
1/4 = bats
4/4 - 1/4 = 3/4 of the total mammals are not bats
You could also calculate this in percentages.
For example:
The whole (all the mammals on Earth) = 100%
1/4 = bats
100 divided by 4 = 25
100% - 25% = 75% of the total mammals are not bats

What are facts about the bat species pigmy pipisrelle?
Scientific name: Pipistrellus pygmaeus
The Soprano Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pygmaeus) is a small bat. It was only formally separated from the Common Pipistrelle Pipistrellus pipistrellus in 1999. The two species were first distinguished on the basis of their different-frequency echo-location calls. The Common Pipistrelle uses a call of 45 kHz, while the Soprano Pipistrelle echo-locates at 55 kHz. The two species are sometimes called the 45 kHz pipistrelle and the 55 kHz pipistrelle, or the bandit pipistrelle (common) and the brown pipistrelle(soprano). Since the two species were split, a number of other differences, in appearance, habitat and food, have also been discovered.

No, Fruit Bats eat fruit, nectar, and flowers. While about 70% of the other Bats species are insectivorous, eating anything from insects to frogs and small fish like whitebait, using their sonar to locate their prey. There are only three species that feed on blood, and it is believed, two species that have been known to feed on other Bats. For more details, please see sites listed below.
