We all know that bats are closely associated with the wonderful holiday of Halloween but what is it about bats that makes us think of Halloween? Bats got a bad reputation with the help of vampire bats that was first observed lapping up the blood of cattle in Central and South America where they obtained their label of Vampires. And Bram Stoker's Dracula helped to finish the connection with vampires transforming into bats. Also, people connect them with witches, but it's all not true. Most of the Bats have a creepy reputation, but most of them are cute, they feast on insects, nectar, and rodents. Bats are not mice and are more closely related to humans than mice.
