5 Interesting Facts About Bats!

  • Bats are the only mammals capable of true, sustained flight - their wings are actually highly modified hands with skin stretched between elongated fingers.
  • Most bats use echolocation to navigate in the dark - they send out high-pitched sound waves that bounce off objects and return to their ears like a built-in sonar system.
  • There are over 1,400 species of bat in the world, making them the second largest group of mammals after rodents.
  • A single pipistrelle bat (Britain's most common bat) can eat up to 3,000 mosquitoes and midges in a single night - they're brilliant natural pest controllers!
  • Bats always turn left when leaving a cave - scientists aren't entirely sure why, but it's a consistent behaviour observed in bat populations around the world.
