Bats are found in all types of habitats all around the world except at the poles. There are over 900 different species of bats. During the cold winter, some bats migrate to a warmer area. Bat's wings are long fingers covered by thin skin. They have furry bodies.
Some bats have short tails, other have no tail.
Bats have weak legs and don't walk very well. There are two types of bats that differ in their diet and in the way they sense and obtain food. These bats use echolocation to find insects and small animals to eat. While flying, these bats send out high-pitched sounds that bounce off other objects. The bat listens for the bounced sound, and can determine where objects are located.
