Now I understand that the name of this bat is rather intimidating, and for some these bats are a real life danger. Before you break out your torches and pitch forks let me tell you about these fascination fluff balls of death."Like the legendary monster from which they get their name, these small mammals drink the blood of other animals for survival. They feed on blood from sleeping cows, pigs, horses, and birds. Though uncommon, they occasionally bite humans for blood." said www.onekindplanet.org witch is pretty neat. These bats are literally he real life versions of vampires and I think it makes them the badasses of the bot world. Besides this, like any other living thing they need a place to live. These critters live in colonies of thousands of others bats sometimes and stay in almost total darkness. Places like caves, hallow trees, and buildings. Female vampire bats can form associations that last years witch means they have friends witch is pretty cool! Something I also find very nice is they are rather clean compared to some other bats and regularly groom them selfs.
what I'm about to tell you next may blow your mind. These bats are alike to humans in a couple of ways. After two days with no blood a vampire bat will die, but their is a way other bats help. Some females can be generous and regurgitate blood in exchange for grooming. The bats can walk, jump, and even have a special finger that helps them take off after grabbing a little snack. These bats can be quite tame and even get alone well with humans.
Even tho they do drink blood from animals is isn't enough to kill them. These bats only drink about half their body weight in blood a night. Also instead of sucking blood they use their teeth to make a small cut, then lap up the blood intel they are full. They then leave then= animal as if it was never their. They can drink an animals blood fro up to 30 minutes before it wakes up and even notices the bat is their.
So next time your thinking about the poor animals that are "victims" to the vampire bat, think about how little harm they are actually causing.
