The Pteropus Vampyrus, or the Vampire Bat, is a fasinating creature. This spices' habitat is just about anywhere with a warm climate and a place with where they can shield themselves from sunlight, so you won't find these creatures in the desert or the arctic. Like I had stated, these bats would live any place that is warm and away from sunlight, but recent studies show their usual place of habitat is in Southern Burma, Thailand, Indochina, Peninsuela Malaysia, Bornea, The Philippines, Java, Lesser Sundas, and the Adjacent islands. (Richarz, N/D.) The vampire bat's eating habits are rare considered rare among other animals. These creatures eat normal foods that an herbivore would eat, such as fruits like kiwi, grapes, and mangoes, as well as vegetables like spinach, sweet corn, kale, and sweet potatoes. But these type of bats usually drink the blood of small mammals and poultry. (There hardly had been any reports of bats directly drinking human blood.)(Richarz, N/D) If that's not amazing enough, just one of these little guys could eat in between 1500 to 6500 mosquitoes a night!
