Hello friends Today am talking about bat and the way they live.
The Bad
Do we know what a bat is?
Is it a bird or an animal? It is like a bird. It has wings like a bird. it flies like a bird.
But the bat is not a bird. It does not lay eggs like a bird. The wings and body of a bird are covered with feathers. The bat has no feathers. it's body is covered with hair instead. The bat is an animal with four legs that can fly. The wings of a bat are really it's front legs. They are like arms with very long fingers.
We can see this in the picture below 👇👇👇
They are piece of skin between these fingers. They make the bats wings.
Do we know how bat live?
Bat usually live together in large numbers. They like living in caves and other dark places. They nearly sleep during the day. They rarely leave their home except at night. They sleep in a rather strange way. They hang upside down by their feet.
We can see how they do this in the second picture 👇👇👇
When the sun goes down,the bats leave their home and fly about in search of food. They can fly fast and very skillfully. The almost never bump into anything while they are flying in the dark.
Bat are useful to us because they eat mosquitoes and other insects that are harmful. they catch them while they are flying through the air. they catch some insects by flying with their mouths open. They catch other in their wings. They turn their heads back from time to time and eat the insects that they have caught in their nets.
