No but has anyone in actually life has gotten their blood sucked by a bat? like a legit flying bat? on reddit i read this one post where the family saw a single bat that was as big as a fully grown street cat. and then they saw the group of them all the same size?! do they actually suck blood or is it just some movie thing?
- t-3 2y agoVampire bats do suck blood, but they're not very big and would only ever target a sleeping human from what I've heard. There are a few pretty large bat species, but most of the big ones are found in tropical regions.
- NeoTar 2y agoMy understanding is that they don't 'suck' as such (like a mosquito), but rather create a wound and lap at the blood which emerges.

- MarcScott 2y agoWhen I lived in PNG, fruit bats were fairly common. You could see them roosting in trees all over the place, and they are huge. They're harmless though, and a great source of protein, if you're any good with a slingshot.
