Several hundred males and females may huddle for warmth, hanging upside-down in a cave or old building. Each mother bat has one or two babies in early summer. The babies cling to their mother's furry belly and drink milk. The mothers and babies all huddle together for warmth. If you scare the mothers, they will probably drop their babies and accidentally kill them.
Baby bats can fly after only one month, and are full grown after two or three months.
They usually live from ten to thirty years. Although owls, hawks, raccoons, and snakes will eat bats, they don't do it often. People are the bat's greatest enemy because we destroy their habitat and disturb their hibernating and maternity roosts. These wooden boxes are easy to build and have narrow spaces inside for the bats to sleep. They bite and can give you rabies .
