Vampire bats biggest proffesion is to suck blood. But specific kinds of blood. They drink humans, cows, pigs, horses, and birds bloods. These vampire bats are located in Mexico and Central and South America. You might think that a vampire bat's bite would be very painful, but it's actually not! Did you know that a vampire bat can suck blood for 30 minutes straight without letting the animal wake. Pretty freaky, huh? But listen to this, even though they have wings (unlike us), they can still walk, run, and jump like any other human! But here is some good news. If the vampire bat can't find any blood for 2 days straight, it dies. But they can still get blood by another bat by sharing. Another fact about the similarities in human being and vampire bat. Are vampire bats really that scary??? Even though there bites aren't painful, they do spread a disease called rabies. But not in every bite they will spread the disease, but they COULD spread it. The vampire bat measures about........as much as your thumb! They're so small, you'll have to get a magnifying glass to see their fangs. Some people think it's cool to have a vampire bat in their house so what they do is that they tame it. That's right! Own it. You can even put it as your pet.
Reflection about Vampire Bat
I picked this article because I thought it was cool that another kind of bat has come: especially a blood sucking one! I really liked this article because it had a lot of interesting, audience-catching, facts. It also had pictures to proof it and a video, too. I thought it was interesting to know these kinds of facts because I used to live in Panama and this crazy bat had come inside of our house! So we had to shew it away and got it out of the window. And so I started to wonder if it was just an ordinary bat or a vampire bat. The most surprising fact for me was that the vampire's bites are not painful, although they can spread a deadly disease.
