Bats look like mice with wings. Bats have a nose like a pig. The normal body shape of bats is small and medium-sized, and the body hair is close to black. The wings of bats evolved from forelimbs in the process of evolution, and are composed of skin (wing membrane) connected between slender claws.

Bats have noses like rodents or foxes. The outer ear protrudes forward, large and flexible. Bats have short necks, wide breasts and shoulders, well-developed breasts, slender hips and legs.

Introduction to bats

Bat, the general name of Chiroptera, is the second largest group of mammals after rodents, with 962 species, belonging to 19 family 185 genus. Except for some islands in the polar regions and oceans, they are found all over the world. In the early years, taxonomists divided bats into Chiroptera and Lepidoptera according to their size, and with the progress of genetic research, they were divided into Silverwing and Helioptera, so the genetic relationship between bats was clear.

Bats are the only flying mammals, among which the smallest bat is Kitty's pig-nosed bat (also known as bumblebee bat), which is considered as the smallest mammal in the world. In Diet Structure, bats are divided into fruit-eating bats and insect-eating bats. As the name implies, bats feed on fruits and insects. Besides insects, there are several lifestyles, such as eating meat, eating fish and sucking blood.
