The only mammal that is capable of powered flight is the bat.
Bats are the only mammals which can actively flap their wings to stay aloft in the air and maneuver in the air.
Other mammals like flying lemurs and flying squirrels can glide but they cannot engage in true flight like bats can.
Bats are special because they are the only mammals that can truly fly.
A bat's body is covered head to toe in fur.
Many bats look like mice with wings!
Bats are able to fly because their front limbs are actually webbed.
Bats are the only mammals that can fly.
There are over 1,200 species of bats, ranging from tiny bumblebee bats to large flying foxes.
Bats use echolocation to navigate and hunt.
Most bats eat insects, but some eat fruit, nectar, fish, or even blood.
Bats sleep upside down, hanging from trees, rocks, or in caves.
