In 1966, my 3-year-old sister was stung by multiple tentacles. It was after a storm and we were walking on the beach, in Sydney, Australia. My mom and I frantically tried to rip off all the tentacles. There were meters of them. She fell into a coma like fever for 3 days. The doctors just shrugged us off as dumb Canadians. She was incredably ill. Her fevers were so high, she was glassy-eyed and laughing. The following few years, she had recurring high fevers (108f) was packed in ice at hospitals. Once her heart stopped beating, and I had to pound on her chest, before the ambulance arrived. To me, she has never been the same.

What are some special features of vampire bats?

There are only three species of vampire bats in the world, and they live only in the Americas, from Mexico to South America, including parts of the Caribbean. They have small bodies, 2 ½ to 3 ½ inches long, and weigh between 1/2 ounce and 1 3/4 ounces. They have fewer teeth than other bats, and have large sharp front teeth for piercing the skin of animals. They soften the animal's skin by licking it, and then bite off hair or feathers before biting through the skin and lapping up the flowing blood from the wound. They have an anticoagulant substance in their saliva that prevents blood from clotting. Although they lap up less than an ounce of blood, smaller animals, such as chickens, sometimes bleed to death because the anticoagulant prevents the blood flow from stopping. Vampire bats have heat sensors in their noses that help them find blood vessels close to the skin of their prey. They have excellent night vision and hunt only when it is fully dark. They have very sensitive hearing, and move quickly when on the ground. They may crawl, run, or jump into the air to escape when threatened.
