Bats

what do bat droppings look like?

That was not a good answer, if you can call it an answer, really there is no answer really there droppings are hard to explain. theres not just one answer.

Yes they make a high pitch sound, this is also how they see using echolocation.

It helps them to fly.

Bats don't actually fly, they glide, because they don't flap their wings like birds do.

Above is incorrect..Bats do fly, flapping all the way..Sugar gliders, flying squirrels glide.. Bats are our only mammals that fly.

yes they do drink human blood and no they do not. Yes because that is only if their is no other food around. No because even if they do bite you then it is only a small bite on the big toe.

+++ Best keep your boots on then. I'm not aware of any vampire-bats biting humans normally - though they would try to bite in self-defence if handled roughly. They feed by lapping up the blood oozing from tiny bites. The risk is not from the small blood loss but from carried diseases including possibly rabies.

It's known that the common vampire bats of Central and South America behave much more like four-legged terrestrial mammals, in that they like to walk around on the ground; other bat species fumble helplessly when left to walk. But researchers in Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine have discovered that these bats not only walk but run. The unprecedented gait of Desmodus rotundus is described in a brief communication in this week's issue of Nature magazine (March 17, 2005) from Daniel Riskin, Cornell graduate student in zoology, and his adviser John W. Hermanson, associate professor of biomedical sciences.

What seemed like a crazy idea -- challenging these bats on an increasingly speedy treadmill -- revealed a novel ability which the researchers believe evolved independently to facilitate feeding behavior. "What we observed was like a horse going from a walk to a gallop over a very short amount of time," Riskin explains. The researchers kept increasing the speed of the treadmill and, much to their surprise, their subjects broke into a run.

"They just seem to do everything a little differently from the general bat rule," Riskin says about what he refers to as the "cute, adorable, big-eyed and family-oriented" vampire bats.

Not only are vampire bats unusual because they run, but also in the way that they power their gait. "Unlike most animals which use their hind legs as a source of power, these exceptional creatures power their run with their forelimbs," Hermanson explains. Getting most of the push from their long forelimbs -- actually their wings and therefore very strong -- the bats run more like a small gorilla than a comparable four-legged creature like a mouse. They run up to about 2.5 miles per hour. Although many of the 1,100 species of bats are known to walk, the common

vampire is the only one so far to pass Riskin and Hermanson's treadmill test and break into a running gait.With the introduction of large herds of livestock into their native environments of Central and South America, these bats don't need to hurry to catch the cattle from which they extract perhaps a tablespoon of blood at a time for sustenance. They feed while their prey are sleeping, spending perhaps 10 minutes drinking from the small cuts they make. However, running may help them avoid being stepped on, Riskin suggests. More likely, the researchers say, the ability to run evolved long ago, when vampire bats had to prey on faster South American athletes such as the agouti, a rodent about the size of a hare, which might wake up and take a swipe at the nocturnal visitor. It remains unclear exactly what the native prey were before the introduction of cattle, he adds.

The Cornell zoologists plan to go a step further and compare the vampire bat to another species of bat endemic to New Zealand. Riskin explains, "The vampire bat is good on the ground because when you feed on the hoof of an animal that weighs 14,000 times more than you do, it's dangerous." Also, there are and always have been a variety of predators in the Western Hemisphere environment. In contrast, Riskin says, the bats and birds of New Zealand had no predators to keep them flying. Many of the birds became flightless walkers, and the bats walk more than others, as flight is energetically very expensive.

"Vampire bats in Latin America are good on the ground because it's a very dangerous place, and bats in New Zealand are good on the ground because it's a very safe place," Riskin says. While New Zealand bats definitely don't run -- they failed the treadmill test -- Riskin wants to compare the walking gaits of the two species.

No. Vampires are fictional creatures and do not really exist.

No. They do exist but they will probably only cause a slight discomfort if the bite becomes infected. they are more likely to bite your big toe whilst you sleep (without even waking you) than your neck. Whatever they bite, it is no more dangerous than a bite from a mosquito. Count Kryzal.

The process to become a vampire is both delicate and protracted. You have to be bitten numerous times and die a gentle death within the infectious phase of the contagion. A single bite causes only mild discomfort and perhaps a little fatigue. Even after numerous bites a person can still recover. Lucy Westenra was saved three times by Doctor Vanhelsing and only died after major interference from Count Dracula. If a person fails to die within the infectious period of the contagion then they become immune to the induction. They can still die from the blood loss and secondary infections but won't become a vampire. Inductions as depicted on Innocent Blood are ridiculous in the extreme.

Believe what you wish but Dracula is a fictional novel written by Bram Stoker whilst living in the seqaside town of Whitby, North Yorkshire, England, UK. Parts of it are based in the town and the steps described that the dog (Dracula) runs up after swimming to the beach as a result of a shipwreck are a major feature of Whitby. They extend from theold town to the cliff-top church from which a path leads to the ruined abbey. It is a spectacular location and it is easy to see why Bram Stoker was inspired to write his classic novel. I have been there several times and love the town. Goth weekends are held twice yearly but, as a fishing port, sea shanties and an annual folk week are also notable. Much is made of the vampire story for the benefit of tourists and it is a bit of fun. Vampire bats are real but relatively harmless as described above but there are no humanoid vampires. There are, however, legends of humans who drank blood but this was because they believed it was an elixir of youth. They killed there victims but not by biting them.

A bat is a mammal for the simple reason that it uses lactation(breast-feeding) to give nutrition to its offspring. It is not a bird because it does not have feathers and if you are wondering if a bat is blind, that is untrue.

Mostly bugs flying in the air like mosquitoes, or some drink blood from horses and chickens.

~bats don't really eat. there's 2 main types of bats; the Vampire Bats and Fruit Bats. Vampire Bats mainly suck the blood of animals(mainly cows, horses, etc.) and Fruit Bats, well, eat fruit. That one kinda answered itself:) they do eat bugs though sometimes!

NO

well kind of they do produce water droplets but most likely not from a sweat gland

good question

As real as fairies, trolls and the Trix Rabbit.

A bumblebee could have a wingspan of 1cm or about 0.39 in

it can be a fruit but not for a vampire bat it food is animal blood but not haman's blood

It means that a bat, which should be wary of people, has gotten into your home. You should talk to a physician about whether you and your family need treatment to prevent rabies. You should also get a qualified specialist to capture and remove the bat.

Their eyes and smelling senses become stronger at night. Which makes it easier for them to hunt for prey.

Both bats and birds are warm-blooded vertebrates.

Neither. Bats are placental mammals, so they neither have a pouch, nor do they lay eggs.

The brown bat is found all over North America. During the summer nights they are very active eating bugs and small spiders.

They have big ears to better hear the predator.

they are like fingers and thumb on your hand, but each finger is like a claw...

Echolocation is the ability certain animals have to use sounds to navigate. They make sound and by hearing where it "bounces" from (hence the "echo") they are able to tell where something is located.
