Bats are the only flying mammals and comprise the second largest order of mammals in the world.
A bat's grasp is strong enough to hold its entire body weight while its body hangs upside down. Just one insectivorous bat can eat 600 or more mosquitoes in a single hour. Bats live between 4 and 30 years, depending on species. Fruit and nectar-eating bats are among the most important seed dispersers and pollinators of tropical rain forest trees and plants. Bats are not blind.
