Description: (They do not have babies.) The real vampires don't live in Transylvania but in South America! But, just like the mythological bloodsucker, this creature hunts at night to search for BLOOD! These creatures mostly attack livestock but, if it attacks humans, it always will go for the places with the most blood like the lips, ears, and the nose. To survive, the bat must drink his body weight in blood every 2 days. That's the blood of 4 goats in one year! To be able to drink blood, our winged friend has two razor sharp teeth.. Just like a vampire!... There are many myths about vampires and bats, but one of the most famous one is "Blind as a bat"... Well, actually, bats are visually blind, but they use a sonar system so they won't hit their heads on everything!
