Get this - there are 950 different species of bats in
the Amazon, so you'd best like them! The Amazonian vampire
bats are the only true vampire bat in the world, i.e.
the eat blood! In order to do this, the vampire bat has
had to adapt its body so that it can move about silently
without being detected. Carefully though, it is not unheard
of for vampire bats to sneak up on humans and use their
razor sharp teeth to scoop out small amounts of human
skin; thereby letting your blood flow, which it then laps
up (in much the same way as your cat at home does with
the milk!)
