RE: New research has shed light on how vampire bats can survive on a diet consisting of only blood

in #science • 7 years ago

Yeah, there are many bats that eat insects, but the vampire bats strictly feed on blood.

Haha, that's a good point, but keep in mind that they appear during the night and feed on cattle and other large mammals that might not really care too much about being bitten.

    Oh yeah there's not much a big old cow could do. That's gotta really suck for the cows. A cow vs a bat would be like a bear trying to fight a greyhound or whipet. lol I bet a bat is 100-1000 times faster than a cow but maybe only 10 times faster than me so it better feast on the cattle and livestock and not me. lol

    Yeah, exactly. They have no way to get rid of the bats, other than just wait for them to suck enough blood to not be hungry anymore.
