Palin Cork: Bat: A flying mammal

“Bats don't just suck blood! The fascinating bat that kills insects, helps the plant get powdered and spreads seeds! Bats are often portrayed as personalities in many cartoons and movies. Because bats are an animal with so many interesting characteristics. And especially bats, we think of them as being night-active, cave-ins, and here, because of the strong image of Dracula character, they're so negative that they suck human blood that it's like a very harmful animal to humans. But did you know that bats are actually extremely useful animals for humans? This book, Bats -- flying mammals -- is filled with stories of new and strange bats that reverse the common sense of bats we've known all along. Bats are the only mammals flying in, and there are tens of thousands of them living in herds, hanging upside down, and vampire bats that suck animal blood, but most of them eat fruit or insects. And most of all, it's a remarkable animal that helps the plant get powdered and produce fruit so that we can eat some delicious fruits like bananas, mangoes, avocados. This book explains with kindness the ecological features of bats, for example, 'Why they hang upside down and stay undistracted,' 'the power of feet to hold objects together with a little force', 'the echolocation of the wing that communicates with super-sonic waves, 'why the activity of the sky and the characteristics of the nocturnal animals'.
