Understanding the amazing diversity of bats will change the common belief that all bats are ugly and blood-thirsty. On the contrary, bats are highly beneficial animals. Insect-eating bats remove large quantities of insects from the environment, including many that damage plants or are regarded as pests to humans.
Bats are mammals and thus, female bats possess mammary glands which produce milk.
When baby bats are born, they are taken care of and fed milk by their mothers for a few weeks until they can fly and forage on their own. As is typical of most other mammals, the body of a bat, except for its wings, is covered by hair. Due to the way bats look at first glance, in some languages they are called 'flying mice'. Microchiroptera have a global distribution and include about 825 species worldwide. In all of Panam , we find about 120 species of Microchiroptera.
