                          Introduction

In this book you will learn all different things 

about bats. Whether it is where they live or what 

they eat, and my book can answer your 

question. If you have a question then all you 

have to do is write it in your comment. I hope 

you enjoy my book about bats!

                              Eat

Bats leave their roosts at night to hunt. They use 

echolocation to find insects. Bats eat gnats, 

beetles, crane flies, wasps, and moths. Did you 

know that bats can chew seven times every 

second? They can eat up to 1,200 bugs every 

hour! Bats have to get plenty to eat in the 

summer and fall. They must store up enough 

energy to live on through the winter when the 

go into hibernation.

                                   Live

Bats live in colonies. During the summer, they roost 

in attics, under bridges, and in mines. They also can 

live in hollow trees, under tree bark, and in caves. 

They like to live near water where there are plenty 

of insects to eat! The bats hibernate close together 

in their winter home. This slows the evaporation 

from their bodies which keeps the bats from waking 

up thirsty during hibernation.

                           Life Span

The life span of a bats depends on what type of bat 

it is. A medium sized bat can live to be 40 years old. 

A smaller bat can only live about 25 years. But a 

much larger bat can live about 30 years. It depends 

on a bats size for how long they are going to live. A 

healthy diet can also play a role in the bats life span 

or how long it lives.

                          A Sickness

Thousands of bats are dieing every year because of 

white nosed syndrome. This is a disease that is 

formed on a bats nose. It looks like tiny flakes of 

snow. This sickness can quickly kill the bats for 

unexplained reasons. If thousands of bats are dieing 

then there will be more bugs on the earth then 

people!
