If a bat looked like a famous person, then I think that person would be Brad Pitt. For those of you who don't know who Brad Pitt is, he is an actor and has been in movies such as: Seven, Interview with the Vampire, Kalifornia, Legends of the Fall and 12 Monkeys. Now for some of you people who have heard of a bat, but don't know much about them, here's some information.
A bat is a furry creature who is nocturnal, meaning it gets food at night. It is helps its environment by fertilizing the ground and plants with its guano [droppings]. Most people don't pay attention to bats. They are an animal species that have an interesting sort of hand wing. In between their fingers is this webby material.
Bats communicate with a clucking sound. Now Brad Pitt and bats have some things in common, that is why I picked him. Such as, in the movie Seven his face is not shaved very well so he sort of has a furry face. His ears sort of look like a bat's ears. In movies he usually has a weird character and bats are treated like weird animals. Brad Pitt played a vampire in Interview with the Vampire, and most of the time people think vampires and bats are sort of the same thing.
I feel that Brad Pitt is a famous person that in some ways is like a bat and in some ways looks like a bat. I hope you will rent one of Brad Pitt's movies and learn more about bats.
