Bats and
Birds have many similarities and differences. In this essay, you will read
about some of the interesting information about the similarities and
differences about bats and birds. Let me first tell you, about how bats and
birds are different.
Birds and
bats are very different. For instance,
birds are birds that feed their young one through mouth, and bats are mammals.
Some people think bats are birds, but, they are not, because bats give
offspring (live birth), and birds lay eggs. Another reason is that birds have
feathers, and bats have fur, or hair. How they are different, is that bats are always brown or black, while birds can
be any color. Another is that bats
are nocturnal whereas birds are not. These are the differences of bats and
birds.
While bats and birds are different in many ways, they are also very alike. For
example, both birds and bats have streamlined bodies. This helps them maintain
speed while feeding and in flight. Bats do not have feathers like birds do,
but, their webbed wings give them affective flight performance. They also have
the same diet, for example, both bats and birds drink nectar and eat fruits. Another
fact, is that bats use echolocation and not all birds do. What I mean to say is
that Oilbirds and Swiftlets
are two types of birds that use echolocation. On the other hand, Hummingbirds
and Parrots don’t use echolocation, so not all birds use echolocation. Both the bat and bird uses their unique wings to
maintain their survival.
In conclusion, there are many similarities and
differences of both bats and birds as discussed in this essay.
