15. www.phylsquill.com ? Floodlight / Flashlight ? Bats have some interesting ways of protecting themselves from predators. Bats stay in roosts with very tiny openings so that predators cannot enter. Bats like to dine on insects. A little brown bat can catch and eat 150 mosquitoes in 15 minutes.

16. www.phylsquill.com Sometimes when people explore caves, they kill bats by accident. If you went into a cave where bats were hibernating, you would wake them up. Then they would fly to another part of the cave. Each time that happens, the bats use up about a month’s supply of fat. If they use up too much stored food, they will starve before spring, when they can hunt again.

17. www.phylsquill.com Mother bats have several ways to protect their young. To provide warmth and food, many mother bats carry their young with them at all times because newborn bats cannot fly. The baby bat clings to its mother’s fur using the claws on its thumbs and feet. If the mother bat does not carry her young with her, she must find a different way to keep her baby safe. When mother bats leave in search of food, they will leave their babies clustered together in a nursery roost. The baby bats stay warm in this cluster. In addition, the narrow opening of the roost assures that most predators cannot enter.
