Bats
They can also "see" in the dark by listening to the echoes of their high frequency callsWith this sophisticated sonar system, called "echolocation" they can pick up insects as tiny as mosquitoes They also have good steering - they won't get caught in your hair! Bats' wings are giant hands, with skin stretching between elongated fingers Bats do not build nests; they hang up or creep into cracks and crannies Bats rarely live in belfries. They prefer somewhere quiet, not draughty, and free from cobwebs Bats need a wide choice of roost sites as requirements change with the season Bats often choose modern houses as roost sites - about half of all known pipistrelle bat roosts known in the 1980s were in houses less than 25 years old In winter, when insects are scarce, bats hibernate in cool parts of buildings, cavesand hollow trees In Britain it is illegal to disturb bats or the places where they roost Of about 4,500 different species of mammal in the world, nearly 1,000 are bats Three-quarters of these eat insects just as British bats do. In the tropics bats also eat many other foods - fruit, flowers, frogs, fish, blood, even bats!
