Blood Suckers

By Oliver of Bank Street School For Children, NYC.

I discovered that my favorite kind of bat is the Vampire bat. There is something very interesting about the Vampire bat, it drinks blood from animals like cows, pigs, and horses. When Vampire bat eats blood, it does not harm the animal it is feeding off. It makes little cuts with its teeth and laps the blood of the animal for 2-3 minutes. Vampire bats are a lot like other bats, but they are also very different.
