They live in nearly every part of the world. The most unusual ones live in South and Central America. The most numbers are found in Africa. Flight Bats are fantastic fliers. They are able to truly fly.
Bats are the only mammals able to have powered flight.
A bat's body is made for flight. The neck is short, the chest is large and the stomach is narrow. In order to fly a body must have a wide, thin surface. It also needs the power to push through the air. This thin surface we call an airfoil in flight terms.
