Where Do Bats Go During The Day?
If you have ever been out during summer at night, there’s a good chance you have seen a bat zooming around just above your head.

Bats are nocturnal and some, probab...
Where Do Bats Live During The Day?
Bats are found in just about every habitat from the tropical islands of Hawaii, to the subarctic cold of Alaska and even Scandinavia.

However, research studies have shown the majority of bats, roughly one-third, are found in the tropical climate...

Bats Also Hibernate, But Not All Species!
This was certainly a surprise to me! Insects are the primary food source for bats, at least for the bats in North America.

What Affects The Bat Population If They Aren’T Out During The Day?
So, if bats are nocturnal, do not come out during the day, and have few predators, what affects their population?

Where do bats sleep?

During the day bats sleep in trees, rock crevices, caves, and buildings. Bats are nocturnal (active at night), leaving daytime roosts at dusk. Upon leaving their roost, bat fly to a stream, pond, or lake where they dip their lower jaw into the water while still in flight and take a drink. After drinking bats forage for insects.

What do bats do during the day?

Although, what exactly do they do during the day? Bats most commonly sleep during the day in places like caves, bridges, trees, mines, buildings, and rock crevices. Since bats are nocturnal, you will not see them out during peak day hours and instead, you’ll begin to see bats flying just after sunset.

What happens to bats at sunrise?

Once sunrise hits, bats return to their roosts where they will sleep for most of the day. They then leave again the following evening during the twilight hours to feed for the night. Fun fact, bats don’t actually lay eggs.

When do bats roost?

You will most likely catch bats leaving and returning to their roosts in the early mornings and around sunset. For bats, daytime is usually spent inside a secluded shelter resting, hanging upside down, grooming, sleeping and socializing. Potential roosting spots can include your roof, attic or shed. Are All Bats Nocturnal?

Essential Question

How do animals' bodies

help them?

Read about how a little

bat got its wings.

Go Digital!

retold and illustrated by

Gerald McDermott

A long time ago, the

animals had a big game of ball.

They broke up into teams.

One side had birds, or

animals with wings. The other side had animals with legs. But they did not have wings.

The animals who did not have

wings were big and fast. They could toss a ball a long way and

The birds were fast but not as big.

Yet with their wings, they could

carry a ball way up in the air. The animals with legs could not jump up and grab it.15

At last, game day came. The animals

and birds met on the playing field.

Both teams felt very excited.

"We will win!" came the calls.16

Just then, an anim al with four

very little legs stepped up. It was a gray bat.

He went to the animals.

"Can I play on this team?" he asked. "You are much too small to play," laughed the animals. "And look at those little legs. We can't win with you!" "I maybe little," said Gray Bat. "But I can do lots of things."

Next, Gray Bat went to the birds.

"Can I play on this team?" he asked.

The birds shook their heads. "Our

team has wings, "they explained. "But the animals say I am not big and can't play with them," said Gray Bat.

Then Blue Jay spoke up. "Maybe there

is a way for Gray Bat to play with us." "Tfell us about it," said Raven. "We can give him wings!" said Blue Jay. "That is splendid!" Cardinal exclaimed.

So the birds took the skin off the top of

a big drum. Then they took sticks and made special wings for Gray Bat. "Let's see if he can fly," said Blue Jay.

Gray Bat flapped his wings.

He went zig and zag. He could not go

in a line like a real bird. "That's the best I can do," Gray

Bat said and smiled.

"Just sit and wait until we need you," said the birds.

The animals and birds played their best

to win. The ball zipped up and down.

Gray Bat just sat and waited.

y ;ft**' - ~ •^js&Gfb

When the end of the game was close,• »

each team had eight points. Gray Bat still had not played.

With a little time left, the animals

took the ball and ran with it.

Just then, Gray Bat stood up.

"Let me help/' he said.

He flew up, up, up with his

special wings. He grabbed the ball and carried it in his zig-zag way. The animals could not catch him. "We win!" yelled the birds. "Gray

Bat did it!"

To this day, Gray Bat plays on the

bird team. He flies in his own way.

And that is how the bat got wings.

A bat is a special animal. There are more than

1,200 kinds of bats. A bat can be black. It can

be white. It can be gray. It can have spots. The biggest bat has a wing span of 6 feet!

A bat is a mammal. Like all mammals

a bat has hair and a backbone. Its mom gives birth to it. It does not come from an egg. And a baby bat drinks its moms milk.

But there is one huge way it is not like

any mammal. A bat has wings! j !TEn(TT?ITfT7TE) I t

A bat is the only mammal that can fly.

But it is not a bird.

Look at the chart. It tells the ways a bat

and a bird are the same and different.

Bats like to make homes in caves and

trees. These homes are called roosts.

Lots of bats live together in a roost.

It is daytime. But the bats stay at

home to sleep. They like to hang upside down.33Kay Maeritz/age fotostock

At night, the bat wakes up and hunts. How

does a bat get food when it cant see? A bat makes a sound. When the sound wave hits something, an echo bounces back. The echo tells the bat if something to eat is close.34

Bats help people a lot. A bat can

eat hundreds of bugs in an hour.

This protects crops because the

bugs don t eat them.

Then the bat drops plant seeds.

This helps new plants grow. Bats

are our friends!

Essential Question

How do animals help

each other?

animal partners.

Animal

by Rachel Mann \(bkgd) Dana Hursey/Masterfile

Can a small bird help a big giraffe?

Can a shrimp help a fish?

Yes, they can!

These may seem like odd friends. But

many animals work together in teams.

These animals help each other in lots of

ways. Let's find out how.39(c) Georgette Douwma/Photo Researchers, Inc

Some birds live

off the backs of big animals. Why do the animals let the birds stay?

The birds help.

They eat bugs off

the animals' skin.

The big animals help

the birds, too. They keep the birds safe.

And it is a good deal

for them because they have lots of sweet bugs to eat!

The goby fish and the blind shrimp make

a good team.

The shrimp can't see, so the goby helps.

The goby looks out for danger, and the

shrimp stays close. When the goby flicks its tail, it means that it is time to hide.

The shrimp helps the

goby, too. It will go into a hole to hide. It lets the goby hide here, too. The shrimp and the goby hide until it is safe to go out.(br) Oceanwidelmages.com (b) Karen Tweedy-Holmes/Corbis

Zebras and wildebeests live

on the hot plains. They both like to eat grass all day.

These animals are seen

together a lot. Why?

They stay together because

they can help each other find fresh grass to eat.

They also help each other keep

safe. If a zebra or a wildebeest spots danger, it runs. This tells the rest to run, too.45- (inset) Tim Laman/National Geographic/Getty Images

Many fish want to eat the little

clown fish. It needs a safe home.

So it lives in a sea anemone.

The clown fish is safe because

most fish stay away. Why? The sea anemone stings! But the clown fish can not feel its sting.

The clown fish helps its

partner, too. It swims in and out, in and out. It chases away i • r * t i i l l # 1

A caterpillar needs to be

safe so that it can grow.

Who will help? Ants will!

Ants see the caterpillar and

take it to a safe place.

Why do ants do this?

The caterpillar has a

sweet liquid on its skin.

The ants like the taste.

Soon the caterpillar

will be a pretty blue butterfly.tr) Valerie Giles/Photo Researchers, Inc., (br) Rick & Nora Bowers/Alamy (inset) Sea lmages,lnc/Animals Animals-Earth Scenes

When a little cleaner fish

wants to eat, it looks for bigger fish to clean. Why?

It gets a free meal when

it cleans.

A cleaner fish eats the

pests off of other fish.

The big fish want to be cleaned!

They line up and wait for the

cleaner fish to get to them.

One is big, and one is small.

But the two are a team.52

When animals team up, they do what

is best for both of them.
