5 Amazing Facts About Bats

There are over 1,300 species of bats, found in nearly every habitat on Earth except polar regions and some isolated islands.

Some bats weigh less than a penny, while others have wingspans of up to 1.8 meters.

 Bats sleep upside down in caves, tree hollows or buildings, which helps them escape from predators quickly.

Most bats use echolocation to navigate. By listening to the echoes, bats can locate food and build a comprehensive picture of their environment by listening to the echoes.

The scientific name for bats is Chiroptera, which translates to "hand wing."
