All About Bats

All about bats

The sun goes down. Night comes to the forest. In houses around the woods, people get ready for bed. But not bats! They are just waking up.

During the day, bats stay safe in roosts. Roosts are places where bats sleep. Bats sleep when the sun is out. They hide in caves or trees. They rest in barns and attics.

Bats hang upside down to sleep. Bats wake up when night falls. They are awake when people are asleep.

Bats are busy at night. At night, large groups of bats fly off. They search for food.

Bats are mammals. Their bodies are covered with fur. Some bats look like mice with wings. Other bats look like foxes or little bears.
