Bats are cool

Bats are the only true flying mammals. There are over 1,400 species of bats, and they can be found on nearly every part of the planet. Not only are they cute, they are also important…

"Reimer has spent over a decade specializing in chiropterology, the study of the species with 'winged hands.'
