Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following is not a fact?

Answer: Bats have only two babies a year.

The flying squirrel has skin between his legs that stretches out when he jumps from tree to tree, still he doesn't fly. The megabats have a wingspan up to six feet and the size of your two year old little brother. Bats have only one baby. Many plants in the American Southwest such as the agave plant and saguaro cactus depend on bats.
2. There are almost 1000 species of bats. How many of them are considered vampires?

Answer: 3

The legend of vampires was known in Europe long before the explorers discovered vampire bats in Central and South America. These bats got their name from the legend. These smaller bats use their front fangs to puncture the skin of a sleeping cow or horse and then they lap up the blood (they don't suck).
3. What is the method of sensory perception by which certain animals, like bats, orient themselves to their surroundings, detect objects, communicate with other, and find food?

Answer: Echolocation

The sounds travel out away from the animal and then bounce off objects and surfaces in the animal's path creating an echo. The echo returns to the animal giving it a sense about what is is its way.
4. Which of the following is not a myth?

Answer: Vampire bats do not suck blood.

Bats use their front fangs to puncture the skin of an animal to lick up, not suck, the blood.
5. What do many bats not do in winters?

Answer: Eat different foods.

The insect population decreases in the winter time. Because of this many bats must move south or slow down their bodies and sleep for several months. They must store up on fat supplies to make it through the winter as they drop their body temperature and slow down their heart and metabolism.
6. Most of the bat species are insectivores. How many bugs per hour can these bats eat?

Answer: 600

They eat one bug every 6 seconds.
7. What is the scientific name for bats?

Answer: Chiroptera.

8. What is the meaning of the scientific name for bats?

Answer: Hand-wing.

9. Which one of the following is *not* a characteristic of a bat?

Answer: Not warm blooded

10. Bats spend a lot of time grooming themselves with their tongues and claws, just like a cat.

Answer: True
