Bats are more agile in flight than most birds, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane or patagium. The smallest bat, and... read more Bats are like the coolest! They use echolocation which I'll explain now. Echolocation is when a bat makes a sound wave in their direction and if it bounces back, the bat will know there's something there. Then the bat will follow the sound wave and it could either be a bug or another object. They are also the only mammal that can fly! Other animals like flying squirrels can't really fly. They just glide. Bats also have big families called a roost. They all live together in a cave and take care of each other. And the babies are adorable. And they also have their own bed covers. Their wings! When they hang upside down on something the cover themselves in their wings like we have our bed covers. Vampire bats are REALLY cool because they kinda make vampires come to life.

The raccoon, sometimes spelled racoon, also known as the common raccoon, North American raccoon, northern raccoon and colloquially as coon, is a medium-sized mammal native to North America. They are intelligent, adorable, clever, and dextrous little tricksters. People hate them for digging into their garbage and carrying rabies but most raccoons do not have rabies, and remember dogs can carry rabies as well. Also, raccoons dig through garbage because they look for food anywhere they can and will eat almost anything. Remember, they were here first, before their home (the forest) was cleared and houses were built. That's why you often see them in urban/suburban places. They adapted to living amongst people despite their home being taken away of them. They are magnificent animals!

Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii) and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been (incorrectly) used to refer to extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii, which are technically outside the Selachimorpha clade. Notable examples of improper classification include Cladoselache, and various other members of the Chondrichthyes class like the holocephalid eugenedontidans. Yes, most sharks are nocturnal.
