Bat poop is black in color.
The bat poop droppings are typically black in color, and when they are found separately they are long thin pellets, but it is the reality that they collect in piles that actually assists bat feces to stick out.
Bat poop or bat droppings are toxic to humans and you should never touch the bat poop or bat droppings without gloves.
Always use gloves and a shovel or scoop to clean up any bat droppings.
Bat poop or bat droppings do not need to come into contact with soil to be a source of the disease.
Bird or bat roosts can harbor parasites that may invade buildings.
Although these parasites can bite and irritate, they are unlikely to transmit diseases to humans.
Bats do urinate and poop while flying.
Bats poop through their anus and urinate through their vagina or penis.
Male bats have a spiked penis and female bats have a vagina in which they pee out of.
Bats do not poop from their mouths.
Bats do have an anus and they poop out of their anus and not their mouths.
Bats do not poop and pee while hanging upside down.
The bats actually do need to be right-side-up in order to poop and pee.
Bats usually poop and pee when flying.
If they are hanging by a tree limb, they pull themselves upright to poop, then go right back to hanging upside down again.
Bats do give birth to the baby bats while they are upside down.
When the baby bats, called pups, are born the baby bats come into the world with their mothers ready to take care of them.
Hanging from her perch the bat moms give birth upside down!
There for her baby right away the mother bats act fast, catching the blind baby in her wings.
The way bats sleep at night is they find a place where they can hang upside down and they sleep hanging upside down.
Bats sleep hanging upside down because they are mammals and can't take off into the air like birds can (at least not without difficulty).
But, if they're hanging, all they do is let go.
The reason bats sleep in the daytime is because they are nocturnal and forage for food during the nighttime.
During the daytime bats sleep and during the night bats fly and forage for their food (bugs) at night.
This means that the bats need safe places to sleep during the day.
The bats also use echolocation to locate food and avoid obstacles.
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.
