Save the Bats
To my fellow classmates:
I'm sure most of you have heard scary stories about bats, but bats hardly ever hurt people. They are not harmful. I know you have heard stories about vampire bats and you heard that they suck people's blood, but they only suck animals' blood. They make a little cut and drink the blood from the animals' skin. Did you know that the little brown bat can eat 600 bugs in just one hour? With all these bats eating all those insects, fewer chemicals will be used on crops and that's a healthier life for all of us! Did you know that scientists are studying the saliva from the vampire bat to see if someday a new medicine can be found to help people with heart problems? So please help us save the bats.

Don't be afraid of bats. Bats are very helpful to people. They don't harm people so you don's need to make them die. They save people from getting bitten by bugs. Did you know that one little brown bat can catch 600 mosquitoes in one hour! Bats help farmers by eating insects so the crops are saved and the farmer has more food to sell. Bats help us from not getting stung in the summer. We can help bats rebuild their homes. Bats need homes to hibernate in during the wintertime so they can sleep. Bats are going to be healthy if we help them by not wrecking their homes.
By Stephanie
I'm asking you to protect bats because bats are very helpful to people. Here's how! Some bats eat the root worms for the farmers to get more food for the food shops. Bats will never fly into women's hair! That's just a myth. Bats spread seeds for new plants and trees to grow. We can protect bats by telling others how helpful and useful they are. Someday a new medicine can be found to help people with heart problems. Bats eat bugs and insects. With bats eating all those insects, farmers don't need to use chemicals and poisons. This will make life healthier for all of us. So help bats by building more bat homes.
By Brian
Bugs are not cool! Help the bats because they will eat all those bugs. Did you know that a little brown bat can catch 600 mosquitoes in just one hour? With bats eating all those mosquitoes life will be better for us. Big brown bats help farmers because they can eat up to 18 million or more rootworms each summer. This saves crops and we have more food to eat. So tell others that bats are very helpful.
By Donald
I would like to tell you about bats. Did you know that one little brown bat can eat 600 mosquitoes in just one hour? Well, that's good so all those mosquitoes won't bite us! Big brown bats can help farmers by eating root
worms. This saves the farmer's crops so he can sell his food and we can buy it and eat it. Bats spread seeds for new plants and trees. The saliva from the vampire bat is being studied to see if someday a new medicine can be found to help people with hearing problems. So that's why bats are so helpful and useful.
By Rebecca
Are those bugs bugging you? Help save bats because only one little brown bat can eat 600 mosquitoes in just one hour! If these bats eat all those bugs, life will be much better because we won't be annoyed by those pesty mosquitoes! The saliva from the vampire bat is being studied and maybe people with heart problems will have a new medicine to help them. These are some reasons why you should not harm bats.

It has a thin coating of oil on its wings.

Rodriques Fruit Bat
I learned about the Rodriques fruit bat. This bat lives in the tropics. It is a megabat. This is what my bat looks like. It has large eyes, simple ears, and a simple nose. It looks like a fox and it has a good sense of smell. This bat finds food easy because it has good eyesight. It eats fruit or drinks nectar from flowers. Sometimes it looks for food during the day instead of at night. These are other interesting facts about my bat. It is called a flying fox because it has a long fox-like snout.
