4 Bats READING Bats are very cool animals. Some people think they are scary, but, in fact, they are very interesting. Bats are nocturnal animals. That means they sleep during the day, and are awake at night. They spend most of the night hunting for food. Most bats eat insects, but there are some that like to eat fruit. Bats are mammals, just like you and me! They fly like birds, but they have fur all over their bodies. Bats live in caves. They hang upside down by their feet, and fly out of the caves at night. Bats cannot see very well, so they use their sense of hearing to help them find food and keep safe. Finding food can be hard for a bat, so they use echolocation to help them. Echolocation is when a bat makes a sound, and it echoes off an object, then bounces back in their ears. This helps them locate insects or other animals they can eat. It also helps them find other animals that might hurt them. Isn t that cool? 1. What is this story mainly about? Underline the words in the story that tell you what it is about. 2. This passage is : fiction nonfiction a poem 3. What does nocturnal mean? Underline the words the help you: 4. What is echolocation?
