All about bats!
Life Cycle:
Like many creatures, bats begin their lives in a womb. They remain here for a period of roughly
3 months. Once the bats are born, they are cared for by their mother until they learn to fly. This is usually a time period
of about six weeks. After this they become independent. Females later reproduce. There is not a set life expectancy rate for
bats.
Eating Habits:
As I'm sure you already know, many bats make meals of small insects. However, different species
have different diets. Some bats for example eat food such as small frogs. Whereas others, like to snack on fish. So, there
is no definite diet for bats.

"Bats"
In a freezing attic somewhere in Prague
a hungry songwriter invents Sincerity, but alas,
too
early. A decade later, a popular singer,
struck by the intimacy a microphone fakes,
invents a way of sobbing in time
to the music –
earnest little hearts are wrecked
from San José to Surbiton. The angelic
choirs, should they
be tempted to rebel,
would they hit on a trick so lucrative? Clouds
of butterflies reassure us: we are so much more
serious,
and intelligent — think of rockets, and
the invention of dentistry and napalm. Sincerity?
It will take a Poet
Laureate to turn it to profitable use.
Bats circle the Old City, low and silent.
