Bats are the flying mammals features designed for flight
Chiroptera is the order's name
Refers to the hands covered with flight membranes
That allow the bats to fly slowly and quickly dart in the sky
To catch flies, eat insects in the dark night as they fly
Nearly a thousand species and bats can navigate well
Most use a method that's like radar
Echolocation to know where things are
For they can squeak very high pitches that bounce off the objects nearby
And return to them as an echo as they fly
Bats disperse seeds of fruit trees, others pollinate plants
Insect control to the humans give
Bats return at dawn to the places they live
In the caves or up in the treetops to hang upside down by their feet
And the bats are really so helpful to man and beast
