What is a Vampire Bat?
Vampire bats sound scary; it does have the name VAMPIRE in it.
But they aren’t much to be scared of. They are mammals and their bodies are 3.5 inches, and their wing span is a whopping 7 inches.
They dwell in abandoned barns and caves in Mexico and Central and South America.
The vampire part comes in because these little bats make small cuts on large mammals (cows, pigs, horses) and occasionally birds. After the cut is made, the vampire bat laps up the blood.
These tiny creatures don’t hurt their prey, per se. Some animals even sleep through the whole thing!
Something else that is cool about vampire bats is that they have heat sensors on their noses, so they know the best place to make their small cut.
