Bat

Bats are small flying mammals belonging to the Chiroptera order. Most bats are nocturnal creatures that use ultrasounds, listening to echoes, to fly around in the dark. During the day, they are often found in caves and other dark places to sleep and hide. Many bat species eat fruits and insects, but a few species drink blood from cattle, sheep, or deer.
