Bats are shy, gentle and intelligent. They are the slowest reproducing animal on earth. The only real harm in bats are rabies, and Bat droppings, called guano which is basically a soil fungus called Histoplasma casulatum.
Bats in buildings have also been seen as omens of lesser evils than death. Various myths relate that bats in houses may bring bad luck. It may be along the lines of something like this: someone in the house will go insane, become blind, he missing the next day, that a letter with bad news will arrive, or that the people in the house will move. I don't think this is true, because when a bat came through my air conditioner window, (every time I use my air conditioner, my window pops open) I did have to sleep downstairs, but after that, the bat flew out, and everything was good. Most bats like to live in tropical areas where the weather is warmer and milder. Bats' habitats include forests, deserts, grasslands, and even cities. Bats make their homes in all sorts of places. Trees, caves, houses, and buildings are all places where you might find a bat. In order to survive, insectivorous bats need insects to eat, water to drink, places to sleep and raise their roosts, (there children) and places to hibernate during the winter. Most bats feed on things like insects, and some even eat fruit and nectar from flowers, and some eat different types of food like blood, frogs, fish, and more. Nearly all of them feed while they are flying. They capture prey while soaring through the air, they snag fruits and berries while flying, or hover over flowers to drink the nectar. Ashleigh
