Straight to the point ~ [Vampire Bat Desmodus rotundus]
(1) There are actually only three kinds of vampire bats in the world, all in Central and South America, the other two are "Hairy-legged vampire Diphylla ecaudata" & "White-winged vampire bat Dimemus youngi", while most of the other bats eat insects, fruits, fish, and toads~;
(2) Vampire bats may be one of the very few animals that regained their running power after cutting off their running ability (changing to flying) during evolution! Vampire bats do not fly to their prey, but rely on silent crawling or semi-running actions, which greatly improves their blood-sucking success rate;
(3) Vampire bats only have 40 grams, while a performance intake of 20 grams of blood! Half of the body;
(4) Although called vampire bats, they are not sucking blood, just licking blood, vampire bats have no enamel, extremely sharp, like a razor instantly cut through the skin of cattle and sheep without waking them up;
(5) Vampire bats generally live less than 48 hours if they do not have blood ingestion;
(6) Because of the short anti-hunger time, they have formed a super social nature of mutual assistance, the full will feed back to the hungry, the adult will take care of orphans, experiments have shown that generous vampire bats can get more help in the process of starvation, and stingy will rarely get relief! They are also sophisticated;
(7) Hundreds of people have died from vampire bats, but not because of blood loss, but because of rabies;
(8) There are anticoagulants and anesthetic components in the saliva of vampire bats, and at the same time, desmoteplase inside may have an effect on the treatment of stroke patients;
(9) There was once a huge "Draculae" species of "Draculae", which may have become extinct thousands of years ago, presumably because they were too large and only sucked on super-large mammals, while humans killed all the super-large mammals in the Americas...
