They don't all carry rabies. You have more of a chance of catching rabies from a raccoon, fox or skunk than you do from a bat. They don't bite people in the neck and really aren t even interested in people. When a bat flies into a human's living space, it's just looking for a place to be warm. Realities Bats are mammals and are therefore warm blooded and give birth to young that they then nurse with milk.
Some bats hibernate but some fly to warmer locations for winter.
There are about 950 species worldwide and nine of them live in Vermont. A membrane, which allows them to fly, covers the bones of each hand. When that membrane is stretched out, the five elongated fingers are obvious. Insectivorous bats consume a vast quantity of bugs every night. A single brown bat can catch over 1000 mosquito-sized insects in an hour.
