Bat 蝙蝠
? I live on all the continents in the world except Antarctica.
? I like warm， tropical areas but can live anywhere it's not too cold. You might see me all over except in polar areas and islands I can't fly to.
? I live in places like caves and hollow trees. I also might hang under the awnings of buildings.
? My body is small and I have two thin wings. My legs are long with sharp claws for hanging.
? I'm usually dark brown， but I also can be black， gray or shades of red.
? I can be huge - more than 5 feet （about 1.5 meters） from wing to wing. Or very small - just more than 1 inch （about 2.5 centimeters） from the end of one wing to the end of the other.
? Depending on where I live， I can be very light or quite heavy. When I'm lighter， I am one of the smallest mammals in the world.
? I usually eat only insects but also might eat fruit and flower nectar. Sometimes I even feast on small birds， lizards and rodents like mice.
? Because I can move around well in the air， few other animals really bother me. But I do have a hard time protecting myself from insect repellents that humans sometimes spray on plants.
? I'm famous for sleeping during the day and flying at night. I “see” in the dark by using sound waves to figure out what's close and far away.
