Bats

Because they fly, bats are often mistaken for birds. Bats are mammals, however, not birds. Some mammals can glide through the air, but bats are the only mammals that can truly fly. These tiny creatures with wings love to hang upside down on trees, in dark caves, etc. Grab your copy here for more information on bats.
