Actually there is a very sensitive reason for this. Let's find out what it is !!!

Hi guys welcome to blog site? In this article I'm going to talk about "Why bats are hanging upside down and how do they do that? " Hope you guys will enjoy reading.

Why Bats are hanging upside down? 

Bats can't to start their flight from the ground, like birds. The main reason is bats are not birds at all, they are Mammals. So, Bats haven't all the possibilities and characteristics that birds have.

     If the question is "Whyou Bats can't start their flight from the ground ?," there are two answers. They are :-

1. Thier legs are smaller and weaker than the birds.

2. Also their wings are weaker than the birds' wings.

So this is the reason why Bats are hanging upside down.

  So if a bat wants to fly, it looses its talons from the place which it has hung, and it turns its body and stretches its wings and begin to fly. (National Geographic's video) By flying like this, Bats can start their flight very easily and very quickly. Because, like I said, Bat start their flight from the ground, to the sky, which means against to the gravity. But Bats start their flight from up to down, which means through the gravity. So I think now you are able to understand who can start their flight much faster.

     Except flying, Birds are getting another huge advantage from hanging upside down, that is protection. You know, bats hunting at night and they hang out at a dark place during the daytime. So like the other animals have, bats also have enemies or predators (egg:- eagle, snakes). So Bats' predators are active animals during the daytime. So they can't find Bats that's because they are hanging at a dark place during the day time. 

       

      Now you know, why Bats are hanging upside down. Now let's talk about how do they do that.

How Bats are hanging upside down? 

   Bats talons are made up for upside down life. Because their talons are directly connected to the upper body. So they can hold their whole body weight by hanging upside down very easily. Also their talons are very fitting to anywhere they are hanging.

Also their blood flowing is another thing that helps to the upside down life. This is a statement from National Geographic site.
