Todays question is – Are vampire bats real or are they just made up in scary movies?

Oh my, after a bit of research, we find that there are 3 species of bats that feed on blood.

They are the common vampire bat, the white-winged vampire bat and the hairy-legged vampire bat.

They are pretty shy animals and are not really like the movies may lead you to believe. They

are not going to swarm and suck all of your blood out.

These bats live in Central and South America. They mostly feed on livestock like cows and

horses. The bat normally lands near the animal, walks over and crawls up while the animal

sleeps. Once they have found a good spot, they use their super sharp teeth to make a

small cut on the animal. Most times, the animal sleeps right through the bat bite and just

snoozes as the bat licks up the blood. Now, there is no way the animal is going to

even notice the very small amount of blood he vampire bat eats. The biggest problem is

not losing the blood, but the animal could get a disease or infection from the bat.

While the chances of you ever getting bitten by a vampire bat are small, keep in mind that

all bats can bite and you should never try to pick one up. If you see a bat that you

think needs help, get an adult. We sure don’t want you to accidentally get bit and then

be sick. So that is our Vampire bat fact!

Thanks for watching and let us know what kind of bats you have in your neigborhood.
