Bats may fly, but they are not birds. Bats are mammals and, like humans, have hair and tend to give birth to only one offspring at a time. Did you know that a bat can catch flying insects with its mouth, wings, and event with its tail? This allows bats to catch a lot of bugs—controlling insects that attack crops. Not to mention helping out humans—bats can eat up to 1,200 annoying mosquitos every hour!
