Bat 蝙蝠
・ I live on all the continents in the world except Antarctica.
・ I like warm， tropical areas but can live anywhere it's not too cold. You might see me all over except in polar areas and islands I can't fly to.
・ I live in places like caves and hollow trees. I also might hang under the awnings of buildings.
・ My body is small and I have two thin wings. My legs are long with sharp claws for hanging.
・ I'm usually dark brown， but I also can be black， gray or shades of red.
・ I can be huge - more than 5 feet （about 1.5 meters） from wing to wing. Or very small - just more than 1 inch （about 2.5 centimeters） from the end of one wing to the end of the other.
・ Depending on where I live， I can be very light or quite heavy. When I'm lighter， I am one of the smallest mammals in the world.
・ I usually eat only insects but also might eat fruit and flower nectar. Sometimes I even feast on small birds， lizards and rodents like mice.
・ Because I can move around well in the air， few other animals really bother me. But I do have a hard time protecting myself from insect repellents that humans sometimes spray on plants.
・ I'm famous for sleeping during the day and flying at night. I “see” in the dark by using sound waves to figure out what's close and far away.
译文
・除南极以外，我居住在世界上所有的大陆上。
・我喜欢温暖、热带的地区，但也能住在气候不太冷的任何地方。除了极地和我不能飞到的岛屿，你也许在世界各处都能看得到我。
・我住在山洞和树洞中，也可能挂在建筑物的遮阳棚下。
・我身体小巧，有两个薄薄的翅膀。我的腿长，且带有利爪，以利于悬挂。
・我通常是深棕色的，但也可能是黑色、灰色或暗红色。
・我可能很大！――展开双翼，超过5英尺（约1.5米）；也可能很小一-从-个翼的末端到另一个翼的末端只有1英寸多（约2.5厘米）。
・根据我的居住地，我可能很轻，也可能很重。当我体轻时，我是世界上最小的哺乳动物之一！
・我通常只吃昆虫，但也吃水果和花蜜。有时我甚至享用小鸟、蜥蜴和象老鼠那样的啮齿动物。
・因为我能自如地在空中飞翔，几乎没有别的动物能真的打扰我。但我确实也有不好过的时候，就是保护自己免受有时人类喷洒在植物上的驱虫剂的侵害。
・我因白天睡觉，夜间飞行而闻名。在黑暗处，我通过声波来“看”并辨别什么在附近和远处。
