Bats are the only mammals capable of flight. The largest are flying foxes or fruit bats. The two suborders are megabats and microbats. The latter are echolocating; they use echoes to locate an object or a place–insect, fish and frog-eating and the former are ‘frugivores’ or fruit-eating. Vampire bats suck blood, some of mammals and others of birds!
