mammals after the rodents.they are the only mammals that can truly fly.the name given to their order is chiroptera .

fruit bats do,or by using sound waves,a process called echolocation,as insect-eating bats do.
Types of bat

microbats megabats:-fruit bats, or megabats, are also sometimes called flying foxex.they live in the
tropical and subtropical parts of africa, asia, and australasia.most megabats eat fruit but some also feed on flowers,nectar, and
pollen.
Microbats:-the term insect-eating bats is a misleading name for these bats.many feed on fruit,neat,fish,pollen,and even blood ,as well as insects.microbats live in both temperate and tropical regions,but in cooler climates they hibernate or migrate for the winter.
