The Terrifying Truth of Vampire Bats

Did you know that vampire bats are the only mammals that feed entirely on blood? These little guys are mostly found in Latin America and have some creepy yet fascinating habits. They sneak up on their prey at night, usually livestock, and use their sharp teeth to make a tiny cut to lap up the blood. Despite their scary reputation, their bite is usually not harmful to the animal, though they can sometimes spread diseases like rabies. And here's a weird twist: they have a social side too, often sharing blood meals with their bat buddies! #brightside Credit: CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
