注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它咬了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

事实

Bats share food with one another by regurgitating blood, passing it mouth to mouth.1

Pups are born with their eyes open and a set of baby teeth.1

A single female was found in an abandoned railway tunnel in Texas, about 700 km north of its known range.1

Its brain is about two-thirds the size of the common vampire bat's brain, by mass.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： It only feeds on birds, so it cannot spread rabies.

真相： It also feeds on mammals, including humans and cattle, and it may be able to transmit rabies while feeding on cattle.1
