In Real Life
The common vampire bat is a small, leaf-nosed bat native to the Americas. It is one of three extant species of vampire bat, the other two being the hairy-legged and the white-winged vampire bats. Common vampire bats are limited to warm climates. They can be found in both arid and humid parts of the tropics and subtropics. They occur up to 2400 meters in elevation. he bats usually live in colonies ranging from 20 to 100 individuals although much larger colonies (up to 5,000) have been reported. The common vampire bat roosts in moderately lighted caves with deep fissures, and in tree hollows. They can also be found in old wells, mine shafts, and abandoned buildings.
The common vampire bat feeds primarily on mammalian blood, particularly that of livestock such as cattle and horses. they feed on wild prey like the tapir, but seem to prefer domesticated animals, and favor horses over cattle when given the choice. Vampire bats strike their victims from the ground. They land near their prey and approach it on all fours. The bats have few teeth because of their liquid diet, but those they have are razor sharp. Each bat has a heat sensor on its nose that points it toward a spot where warm blood is flowing just beneath its victim's skin. After putting the bite on an animal, the common vampire bat laps up the flowing blood with its tongue. Its saliva prevents the blood from clotting. Young vampire bats feed not on blood but on milk. They cling tightly to their mothers, even in flight, and consume nothing but her milk for about three months.
Quick reflexes and agile movement are important qualities when avoiding the unpredictible responses of large prey such as livestock. Jumping is one of the vampire bat's main avoidance techniques. It has the ability to jump forward, backward, and laterally. These movements provide quick escape routes from kicking hooves, swishing tails, and even other predators such as owls and snakes. Vocalizations are most common between mother and offspring. Small contact cries have been heard from the offspring at 6-12kHz. These usually occur during food sharing. Contact calls are also given when the offspring is trying to find its mother. Chemical cues and touch are also likely to play an important role in communication. They use echolocation and vision to navigate and find prey. They may also use olfaction and auditory cues to identify prey.
