Imagine you’re exploring a cave. Suddenly, you look up and see bats hanging upside down above you. Do you shriek and run away? Or do you smile and observe them?
Many people think bats are creepy, threatening, or spooky. But in China these creatures are a sign of happiness and good luck. You won’t find them in extremely hot deserts or at the poles. But you will find them just about everywhere else in the world. There are more than 1,400 different kinds of bats. But they all have one thing in common: They fly.
