Flying Mammals
Sporting fur instead of feathers, the world's only true flying mammals, bats, are all gathered into one order, Chiroptera, with 18 families, 180 Genera, and 925 species. Though not classified as flying mammals, other mammals who can move through the air include sugar gliders, 44 species of flying squirrels, and four species of lemur, called culogos. To learn more and share knowledge about this amazing and unique group of mammals, glide on in to our Flying Mammals category to ask and answer questions.

Where do Louisiana bats spend their winter at?
Most Louisiana bats go into a light form of hibernation called "Torpor". When temperatures get too low they will sleep together in the roost or colony. Occasionally waking up when temperatures rise above freezing at night for a small feeding flight. Depending on the species and roost preference, they may stay in the local area, and just move to the winter roost. Stay in the same roost location, or leave and head south to another roost geographic location.

To improve a glider, focus on enhancing its aerodynamics by refining the wing shape and reducing drag through smoother surfaces and optimized control surfaces. Increasing the aspect ratio of the wings can also improve lift-to-drag ratios. Additionally, incorporating lightweight materials can enhance performance and maneuverability. Finally, fine-tuning the center of gravity and weight distribution can significantly influence stability and handling.
Is a young bat called a bittern?
No, bitterns are a species of bird in the heron family.
Young bats are known as pups.

Are there any real flying creatures that a human could ride on while it was in flight?
No, there isn't.
The flying animal with the highest weight-carrying capacity is the bald eagle, which can lift an object weighing 10lbs on average.
Considering an average human weighs 150lbs, it's impossible for an eagle to lift one, let alone carry one on its back.
Maybe one could possibly carry a newborn baby away though, but that is not riding it as such.
