Bats do not lay eggs because bats are mammals and give birth to baby bats in the form of pups.
Since the bat is a mammal the bats give birth to their pups and nurse them with milk from their bodies.
Bats are considered one of the slowest reproducing animals in the world and female bats often only produce one offspring per year.
Bats do sleep in different places.
Some bats actually will share a sleeping location, or roost, with thousands or even millions of other bats.
Bats do sleep and they sleep in the day.
In the day bats will sleep in trees, rock crevices, caves, and buildings.
Bats are nocturnal (active at night), leaving daytime roosts at dusk.
Upon leaving their roost, bats fly to a stream, pond, or lake where they dip their lower jaw into the water while still in flight and take a drink.
Bats are not blind although bats cannot see as well as humans and other animals.
Bats do have eyes and can see but they cannot see very well which is why some people say someone is blind as a bat when they can't see very good.
Bats actually do have small eyes but with very sensitive vision, which helps the bats see in conditions that us humans might consider pitch black.
The bats don't have the sharp and colorful vision humans have, but they don't need that.
Bats use their good hearing to find food in the dark of night, and their good eyes to find food during the light of day.
The vision of bats is tuned to low-light conditions such as is present during dawn and dusk.
As mentioned above, bats are not able to see clearly in light and they will be picked on easily.
However, the daylight is not the only light which affects bats.
Bats are also affected by any bright light, including street lights.
Anyone who touched or had contact with the bat or its saliva could be at risk of getting rabies, which is almost always fatal once symptoms begin.
Fortunately, rabies can be prevented if treatment is given before symptoms appear, so quickly identifying anyone who has had contact is important.
