What is a bat?

Home » Basic, Blog, Student Posts, Videos, Vocabulary » What is a bat?

In the new batman movie The Dark Knight Rises, Bruce Wayne, the main character, has a fear of bats as a child and then embraces his fear as an adult and turns himself into the superhero batman. Bats are winged nocturnal mammals that eat bugs and fruit. They sleep in caves and can range in size and their location of habitat varies widely.

Have you ever seen a bat in real life? If not, have you seen any of the Batman movies?

Was that video helpful? If so (or if not), leave a comment below with questions, comments, etc.

    I’ve seen a flying fox bat and I think It’s considered to be the biggest among bats. Its was discovered in Philippines.
