                      Information 
                         
                        Only 
                        in the last fifty years have we learned the true nature 
                        of bats. Their silent, darting flight have made them the 
                        subjects of a great deal of folklore and superstition 
                        through the years. Actually, bats are superbly adapted 
                        creatures that have evolved to exploit resources such 
                        as night-flying insects.  
                         
                        Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight. Their 
                        fore limbs have the same configuration as other mammals', 
                        but the bones of the fingers are greatly elongated to 
                        support membraneous wings. Their hind limbs are modified 
                        to allow them to alight and hang, head-down, by their 
                        toes.
