A Couple Weird Things about Pi
It appears to be bite marks from bats high in the apple tree on ripe apples. Possibly that a bat was attacking an insect and got a taste of an apple and liked it. Bite marks are not of any bird or squirrel.
Yes, if they bite you on your neck you will permanatley turn black, unless treated in 5 mins or less with special shot that is only available in south africa.
Does a bat hav hair or feathers?
Most do, yes. They're mammals, and most mammals have fur in order to stop their blood getting too cool. This is why reptiles (which have no fur) need to bask on rocks to gain the energy to move.
Bats. I guess wet caves might describe a bat... Bat crap? Dunno really.
What do you do if you get bitten by a bat?
Some bats have venom so you might want to get something to cure it. Oh and you know humans can eat bats right?
Do vampires live anywhere in the US?
Vampires are creatures of myth and legend and do not exist. There are some people who claim to be vampires, but they are often suffering from personality disorders and cannot help believing this.
What is a vampires worst enemy?
werewolves, by far, since they were created by two clans who were at war with each other.
---------
It depends. There are many different types of vampires with different weaknesses and different enemies. Sometimes it's werewolves (for popular fantasy vampire) , sometimes it's God or men of faith (for the traditional satanic vampire), sometimes it's just humans in general (for the "modern" vampire).
Personally, I think that a vampire's worst enemy is [permanent] death, since the traditional excuse for becoming a vampire is a fear of dying/Final Judgment and because the enemies listed above are a vampire's enemies because they can kill them.
Are bats part of the rodent family?
Vermin means animals that are destructive and/or a nuisance to humans. Bats tend not to get particularly noticed by humans at all, so that label don't fit too well. But I guess they could be considered vermin if they got into your attic.
They're definitely not rodents, that's rats, rabbits etc - a completely different set of animals.
What are the characteristics of flying foxes?
Flying foxes are bats that live in forests and swamps in coastal areas of southern Asia, northern Australia, Madagascar, and the South Pacific. They mainly consume fruit juice, nectar, and pollen, and some flying foxes drink sea water to get essential minerals. Flying foxes play a major role in spreading seeds and pollinating rain forests. Many species of flying fox rely on sight, rather than echolocation, to navigate. Flying fox colonies usually roost in trees, and some species are endangered by hunting and deforestation. The female flying fox typically gives birth to a single pup after a gestation period of four to six months. They live about 30 years in captivity, less in the wild. The largest is the Malayan flying fox, which weighs more than a kilogram and has a wingspan up to 1.7 m. The smallest is the little golden-mantled flying fox that weighs about 200 g, with a wingspan of about 50 cm.
Britain has 18 species of bat. There is not an exact number for population, but studies do show they are on the uprise. See the related link for more information.
Why are bats important to the world?
Bats serve as pollinators of many plants that produce fruit.
Bats also provide useful things to make medican help with reaserch that are usually for blind people.
What is the closest relative to a bat?
i am sorry to say that the only one that i can find but is not definite is a mouse because it has the same features apart from the wings. As i said before i am not ceretian but its the only one i can find. Sorry
If you find another one please post on my wikianswers blog
Thank You
How do bats search for their food at night?
Bats don't actually see in the dark. They have another sense that we don't have, called echolocation. They emit very high squeaks (beyond our hearing) and when it pings against an insect, such as a mosquito, it echoes back to the bat. Scientists think bats can "see" a 3D image with their radar.
What does a baby bat look like?
Bat pups are tiny when born. Pups are born without hair and they look tiny, scrawny and pink.
How long is a vampire bat pregnant?
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.
What kind of bats don't eat meat?
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.
