2
This is a bat, not much like a common field mouse—though it can be about mouse-sized. Unlike mice, it has real wings and is a true flyer. Bats are nocturnal hunters and come out at night to feed. Because of their appearance and habits, they are often linked with vampires.
These flying mammals usually roost in caves. People avoid handling bats with their hands because they can be dangerous, with sharp claws and teeth. Bats can also carry several serious diseases, including rabies.
