The bat is a quite real animal but there are a lot of legends about it. The most common is that vampires turn into bats. That’s why people were very afraid of them despite the fact that these animals do not appear during the day.
If you decide to draw together with your child, you can attract his or her attention with interesting information. He or she will be interested to know that:
- Bats have bad eyesight even at night. That’s why it’s being orientated with the help of the the sounds. It has very good hearing.
- A bat uses its wings not only to fly but to warm also.
- Oddly enough, these animals also kill insects such as mosquitoes. In America, farmers don’t chase bats allowing them to eat caterpillars and beetles.
- The stylized image of a bat is the emblem of Batman.

Wings
Bats don’t have wings like birds have. They have no feathers, they look like stretched skin. Draw wings starting from its body. Don’t forget that the wings are larger than the animal itself, it can ce wrapped in the wings like in a cloak.
