Vampire Bats and Their Feeding Habits

The video explores the feeding behavior of vampire bats, highlighting their unique adaptations. Vampire bats use heat sensors in their noses to locate the best spots on their prey, typically sleeping animals like pigs, to feed. Their sharp teeth allow them to cut painlessly, and their saliva prevents blood clotting, enabling them to drink efficiently.
