It’s Bat Appreciation Day, so let’s get batty for our favorite flying mammals: bats! Bats are the second most diverse group of mammals after rodents. Twenty two percent of all mammal species are bats, with more than 1,450 species—and they live on every continent except Antarctica.

One of the world’s most unique bats? The Hammer-headed fruit bat (​​Hypsignathus monstrosus). Africa’s largest bat, males of this species can sport a wingspan of up to 3.2 ft (1 m). Primarily frugivorous, it feeds mostly on figs or the pulp of mangos, bananas, and guavas. Photo: jakob, CC BY-NC 4.0, iNaturalist

Common Pipistrelle Pipistrellus pipistrellus

A small pipistrelle microbat whose very large range extends across most of Europe, North Africa, South-Central Asia, from the British Isles possibly to Korea. The common pipistrelle is an edge specialist, preferring to forage along woodland edges and along isolated tree lines. It is insectivorous, preying on flies, caddisflies, lacewings, mayflies, and moths. Mosquitoes, midges, and gnats are particularly favored prey items.

Yellow-winged Bat Lavia frons

It has an extensive range throughout sub-Saharan Africa south to northern Zambia. The bat mostly lives in woodland and savannah habitats, preferring acacia trees and thorn bushes near bodies of water. The yellow-winged bat is a sit-and-wait predator. They perch and listen for prey and if it flies by, the bat launches their attack.
