In the animal kingdom there are few animals who have been served such a bad rap as the beautiful bat. Let's look at this creature without our silly biases. It's a furry mammal that flies! That in itself is amazing. The bat also takes care of the annoying insect population. In a summer evening a bat can eat up to 1,200 bugs per hour, that's a lot of mosquitoes! They don't turn into vampires, have rabies more often than other animals, or fly into people's hair. That being said, these night flying beasties make great Halloween costumes. These bat ears make your bat costume 100 percent cuter.
