Meaning there is a lot of different sizes, shapes, and lifestyles of bats. Bats have not always had the ability of flight. Researchers believe bats have evolved from a mouse or shrew like animal. But it is proven that they have evolved in many incredible ways. Such as the use echolocation, being able to hibernate, sleep in the day, the ability of flight, hanging upside-down by their feet, and many other things that only individual species have developed. Bats are a bit different because while having all the characteristics of mammals, they have the skill of flight. They use their ability of flight to survive by chasing and capturing in-flight prey, and the ability to avoid predators. They have become so effective in their adaptations to flight and hunting that the individual species of bats alone comprise one of the largest orders, containing around 20% of all mammalian
