Bats

Bats (Order Chiroptera) are subdivided into two suborders, the Megachiroptera and the Microchiroptera. Megachirpteran bats have a foxlike quality about their features, which earned them the common name of 'flying foxes'. Microchirpteran bats use ecolocation to navigate and capture their prey.
