Yes it is a bat. It is small and furry.

Fresh is the kind of moth balls which deter bats. The mammal in question has a strong repulsion to the pervasive odor of just about any kind of moth ball so long it is fresh and replaced as soon as the smell begins to diminish.

The biggest threat to flying foxes is habitat destruction. They live in the rainforests of Asia and Africa, as well as on certain islands. We can help to protect their habitats by avoiding all Palm oil products, which encourage the deforestation of Asia, by avoiding any rainforest wood products, and by donating to organizations that work to conserve the rainforest, such as the World Wildlife Fund or Rainforest Action Network.

vampire bats have sharp teeth

No, they are mammals like humans.

· bats are mammals - warm-blooded, give birth to live young

· wings are folds of skin supported by elongated finger bones

· resting bad hang head downward - making it easy to take to flight at any given moment

· average sized Canadian bat - weighs 8 g, wing span of about 22 cm

· larges Canadian species weighs about 30 g, wing span of 40 cm

· smallest Canadian species weighs about 5 g

· bats are not blind - they can see very well

· bats are nocturnal creatures

· bats in Canada feed on insects - will consume 50-100 percent of their body weight in one night

· Bats use echolocation to catch prey

· send out high frequency sound waves to find objects in their path

· echolocation calls are ultrasonic - beyond human hearing range in most cases but there is the Spotted Bat (euderma maculatum) which uses lower frequency echolocation calls which can be heard by people

· Canada has 19 species of bats

· life span of over 30 years

Other than on very cloudy days, you would see them at night. Raccoons are nocturnal.

Bats fly differently than insect, so it appears that they are flying in a funny manner. When, in fact, bats fly very acrobatically through the air.

It is amazing how people are willing to spread their ignorance around. Vampire bats subsist on nothing but blood. Their digestive tracts are shorter than those of any higher vertebrate; they could never survive on food that required much in the way of digestion, such as insects or fruit. Their teeth are not hollow, unless you count the pulp cavity and they do not suck blood; they lap it. Vampire bats have only 10 teeth but they are very sharp and the saliva contains an anticoagulant. They simply make an incision in a horse or cow or a human foot sticking out beyond the mosquito netting. The blood flows freely and the bat just laps it up.

it is called a cry, when cats talk they moew when bats talk the cry

They feed on all sorts of animals and humans! like Livestock and other large animals they feed on there blood and attack while the prey sleeps the bites are painless but often give the animal or human diseases like rabies they are deadly creatures.

y is the lesser short tailed bat endangered

The wing span of the Hawaiian Hoary bat is about 10.5-13.5 in. Female bats are larger than the male bat.

According to legends, vampires have the ability to transform into bats so when they transform into bats they can fly.

Bats are not a species, they belong to the order Chiroptera. Some species of bat are endangered, but not all. Bats as a whole are not endangered.

Bats are blind! They do not see any color!

Bats live relatively long lives for animals of their small size, some as long as 30 years.

If the Vampire Bat does not get his required amount of blood into it's system it might contact another Vampire Bat of the same colony to give the bat the food it needs by mouth-to-mouth, similar to kissing.

At night. They fly around not too close to the ground but not too high. They catch mosquitos and other insects by flying at them and catching them in their mouths.

Bats are not mice with wings. Their only real connection to mice is that they are both mammals and rodent sized. Bats are not actually rodents, however. Unlike mice, they use echolocation to find food, and bats have completely different diets from mice.

Most species of bat do not shelter at night, but are nocturnal, meaning they are active at night and shelter during the day. Where they shelter depends on the species of bat.

Some shelter in dark, damp caves; others shelter under cliff overhangs; others shelter in mangroves, hanging from mangroves trees.
