Vampire Bat Fidget Keychain

Vampire bats are fascinating creatures known for their unique feeding habits. They are the only mammals that feed entirely on blood, a diet known as hematophagy. There are three species of vampire bats, and they are found in Central and South America. These bats primarily feed on the blood of birds or large mammals, like cattle.

They have specialized heat sensors on their noses to detect blood vessels near the surface of their prey’s skin. Once they locate a good spot, they use their sharp teeth to make a small incision and lap up the blood. Interestingly, their saliva contains anticoagulants that prevent the blood from clotting while they feed.

Vampire bats are also known for their social behavior. They live in colonies and have a cooperative nature, often sharing food with other bats that haven't been able to feed, which is essential for their survival.
