Bats

All depends on the species of bat, it can be anything from 40 days - 6 months (bigger bats have longer gestation periods).
It is usually quoted as 40 days to 6 months depending on the species. It is virtually impossible to give an accurate answer because they practice delayed fertilisation (or delayed implantation in the case of Schrieber's bat) so the exact start of gestation is impossible to determine.

Vampire bats, which live only in South America, lap up the blood of animals. Most attacks are against sleeping farm animals and poultry that they bite with razor-sharp teeth. Their saliva has an anti-coagulant property that prevents the blood from congealing and the wound bleeds freely, sometimes causing the animal to bleed to death.

bats like to eat lots of different things. It depends on the bat. Some like to eat fruit.Others like to eat humans. Those are some examples.

A vampire bat is one of three species of South American bat that has special anticoagulants in it's saliva. It uses it's specialized incisors to make a small cut in an animal's skin. The bat's saliva inhibits the blood from clotting making it easier to lap approximately 2 tablespoons for it's meal.

First of all , I think I need to say that vampires don't exisit. But in the movies (or what I have heard ) I am 99% sure that they sleep like humans (laying down) but instead of a bed , they sleep in coffins.

as long as it wants to

from what i have learned its a microbat but not sure cause i looked on a book that megabats eat nector like a spear nosed bat and microbats eat meat and insects im pretty sure its a microbat though

in houses,garages sheds or garages.also mexican free tailed bats and big brown bats

Elephants use their large sound collecting ears to hear sound. Elephant's ears are very important to an elephant because they serve many purposes, much more than hearing.

Well adapt basically means to get used too. Bats need food so they have adapted a trait in order to find it, since they search for food at night their eyes are not much use.That's why they use an adaptation called echolocation. They have adapted to the dangerous predators at day by sleeping during the day and hunting at night. And that's only a few of their adaptations to their environment's.

Flying foxes aren't really foxes. They are large nectar and fruit-eating bats. Their bodies are so much bigger than "regular" bats that they look like foxes with wings instead of mice with wings. They can grow so much bigger because they can find plenty of calorie-rich nectar and fruit to eat without spending a lot of energy flying after elusive insects like most bat species. More available calories with less work = the ability to sustain a larger body. I don't think they'd be interested in humans--the only meat they eat is insects they find on the flowers and fruits that make up their main diet.

The vampire bat was around for millions of years before the invention of vampires. Vampires as understood in popular culture do not and never have existed, whilst vampire bats evolved a long time ago.

I must argue witht he millions of years thing, the world isnt that old and you should know it. Like look at the Bible reverances. Look to the geology of Jesus Christ. And you might be able to figure out how long this wi=orld has existed. =]

Vampire bats are known to reside in humid, tropical climates. They are marginally found in Central America ranging to South America and can be found in dark places such as cave, wells and hollow trees. They live in large colonies together, sometimes reaching populations which exceed a thousand.

"Available data indicate that moths are highly important in their diet. In fact, these bats may feed almost exclusively on moths." Source: http://www.nsrl.ttu.edu/tmot1/eudemacu.htm

they use there wings to cover from dust and hide in night and they use there teeth to take blood they use their teeth to hurt other animals.

Bats use a type of "sonar" to locate objects even in the dark (echo-location). A bat makes a high-pitched noise that bounces off objects nearby and the bat hears the echo. By timing how long it takes for the bat to hear the echo, it can calculate how far away it is. When it comes to a flying insect, the bat listens to the echo of it's noises and is able to locate where the insect is. Then it can fly to the insect and catch it - even if it is pitch dark.

Their echolocation consists of tiny beeps, too high-pitched for our ears, and the echoes tell them where bugs are.

Bats are not actually blind! Bats can actually see very well but at night they use echolocation. This process enables bats to emit sounds from their mouths that bounce off objects and allow them to avoid the objects when flying.

Bats are mammals and are related to a wide array of animals such as hedgehogs, whales, camels, giraffes, pigs, dogs, cats and many others. The common ancestor of this diverse group isn't known.

Some bats live together in big colonies during the winter. Several hundred males and females may huddle for warmth, hanging upside-down in a cave or old building. In the summer, only females (girls) live together in a maternity (mother) colony of up to several hundred bats. Each mother bat has one or two babies in early summer. The babies cling to their mother's furry belly and drink milk. The mothers and babies all huddle together for warmth. If you ever find a "maternity" or "mother" colony, leave immediately. If you scare the mothers, they will probably drop their babies and accidentally kill them. Baby bats can fly after only one month, and are full grown after two or three months. They live from ten to thirty years.

Different Bats eat many different things , actually eating plain cardboard is unlikely, however they may chew up or chew through cardboard that has some sort of food residue.

No, A bat is actually not blind.. it can see at night, but during the day it sleeps and that's where they came up with the fact that bats are blind in which case they are not..

When interviewed on the subject, Shawn DeCoste thought, "Actually bats have their brains developed to favor their hearing over their vision so much that it actually renders them blind in the eyes, but not in the ears. Their ears are built more like the sensory system in a dolphin or a whale that can just ping the sea and see the whole ocean floor in three dimension, in a place where a species might not want to rely so heavily on the eyes, like the dark. A shark can do something similar with his sense of taste and smell, like a cockroach. The government has developed many amazing technologies based on these sensory systems to be able to see in places where they otherwise might not be able to see. Unfortunately, they're mostly classified." Shawn goes on to mention that he has schizophrenia and he is also a genius. You can learn more about him at myspace.com/conceptshawn.

When a bat screams the lights go on... and when the scream bounces back to their ears they have a 3-D map that they can navigate with their built in GPS systems. If the object moves than it makes a noise of its own that puts it right on the map.

yes. bats see with their ears.

Yes, in the metaphorical sense. Bats use echo location to form an image of their surroundings. They send out a chirp and they process the reflected sound. If you want to call that "seeing" you'll not find many people who will disagree. I'd suggest that you simplify that contention by saying they "hear" with their ears.
