Bats are gentle animals that help create a healthy environment for people. Not only do they eat a tremendous number of insects, they carry pollen from one plant to another. They also spread seeds of many plants valuable to humans. A BAT Bats are mammals just like us. They have furry bodies and wings with no hair.
Bats are the only mammals that can fly.
Because they are mammals, bats are born alive. Baby bats are called pups, and have to be taken care of for an extended period of time. The females possess mammary glands where milk is produced to feed the young. Bats have arms, wrists, and hands with a thumb and four fingers. The bones of the hands and fingers are very long and form the structure of the wing.
