Bats are the only mammals that are capable of flight. Bats mainly eat insects, but some species such as the fruit bat, eat fruit.<br /> <br /> == Bats in media ==<br /> Famous [[anthropomorphic]] bats in animation include Batty Koda, a rainforest-dwelling fruit bat from the 1992 movie ''[[Wikipedia:FernGully: The Last Rainforest|FernGully: The Last Rainforest]]''; Bartok, a Russian albino bat from ''[[Wikipedia:Anastasia|Anastasia]]''; [[Stellaluna]], a fruit bat from the book and film by the same name; and [[Batfink]], an anthropomorphic parody of [[wikipedia:Batman|Batman]].<br /> <br /> Author [[Kenneth Oppel]] created a best-selling series of novels entitled ''[[Wikipedia:Silverwing|Silverwing]]'' which features various species of American bat as central figures. The book has since been adapted into a television series.<br /> <br /> Bats are also featured in video games, such as [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]] from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]''.<br /> <br /> == Symbolism ==<br /> The bat is associated with characters of the night; both villains like [[Wikipedia:Dracula|Dracula]] and heroes like Batman. They are also associated with unusualness and eccentricity. Native Americans use the bat to symbolise intuition, rebirth, illusion and communication. <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[:Category:Bat characters]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Bat|Bat]] at [[Wikipedia]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://fan.numbskull.org/bats/ Fanlisting for bats]<br /> <br /> {{Species-stub}}<br /> [[Category:Mammal species]]<br /> <br /> [[it:Pipistrello]]<br /> [[ru:Рукокрылые]]</div>
