Did You Know About the Many Varieties of Bats?

Did you know about the many varieties of bats?

There are nearly 1000 species of bats. Yesterday my nephew told me that bats drink from flowers and plant seeds. I did not believe him. We read today about how some bats do indeed drink the nectar of plants and help to pollinate plants! I also learned that one type of bats eat fish! Bats can range in size from a 5 inch wingspan to a 5 foot wingspan! There are many types of bats with many different looks. They live on every continent but Antarctica. Bats are good for us and our world.
