What do bats eat?
The group of microbats mostly eat small flying night bugs like mosquitoes, moths and others. The megabats mostly eat ripe fruit found in the rainforests. There are other bats that eat strange food such as frogs, fish, scorpions, and plant nectar.
It is amazing the different types of foods that bats eat.
| There are a lot of different kinds of bats -- from the tiny bumblebee bat (which is the size of a jellybean and weighs less than a penny) to the huge Bismarck flying fox (with a wingspan as long as an average man). In fact, there are over 900 different species of bats -- they make up one fifth of the world's mammals. They are the second largest group of mammals (rodents are the largest). Bats live all over the world, from the United States to Australia except for in the coldest parts. Bats are grouped into two main groups -- the large fruit eating bats (also known as "flying foxes" or "megabats") and the smaller bats ("microbats") who eat insects, blood, fish, lizards, birds and nectar. Megabats and microbats are quite different from one another. Microbats live worldwide, except for Antarctica and most of the arctic region. Most of the world's bats are microbats. Megabats include nearly 200 species and live in tropical regions. They look a lot more like land mammals we're familiar with -- which is why they're called "flying foxes". Most megabats are unable to echolocate, although there are a few (like the Egyptian Rousette) that can. |
A bat is a mammal in the order Chiroptera. The forelimbs of all bats are developed as wings making them the only mammals naturally capable of flight(though other mammals, such as flying squirrels, flying possums and colugos, can glide for limited distances). The word Chiroptera comes from the Greek words cheir (χειρ) "hand" and pteron (πτερον) "wing," as the structure of the open wing is very similar to an outspread human hand with a membrane(patagium) between the fingers that also stretches between hand and body.
A measure of the success of bats is their estimated total of about 1,100 species worldwide, accounting for about 20 percent of all mammal species. About 70 percent of bats are insectivores. Most of the rest are frugivores , with a few species being carnivorous. Bats are present throughout most of the world. Bats perform a vital ecological role by pollinating, and flowers also serve an important role in seed dispersal. Many tropical plants are entirely dependent on bats.
Bats range in size from Kitti’s Hog-nosed Bat measuring 29–33 mm (1.14–1.30 in) in length and 2 g (0.07 oz) in mass, to the Giant golden-crowned flying fox which has a wing span of 1.5 m (5 ft) and weighs approximately 1.2 kg (3 lb).
