Who is the best friend of the vampire?
The bat, of course!
Every time you see a vampire in the film, is of little furry companions accompanied him on his release, surrounded in the night. If a vampire has a quick exit, which has often make one of those too. But what is a vampire and suck the blood from unwilling host? They are evil creatures, hiding in caves and castles blacks? Surprising how little scientistsBats can their ability to find his bloodthirsty habits are useful to mankind.
Imagine a creature with a small head, watchful eyes of blacks and a broken nose, almost like a pig's snout. The animal has big ears, rounded at one end and sharp teeth in a single bite. It has a wingspan of eight inches, with a body soft brown hair and the size of the thumb of a person. It weighs about three ounces. Does long Desmodonitidae rotundus, but prefer to be calledby name every day, the Common Vampire Bat.
Common Vampire Bat lives in Central America and South America, with their cousins, the White-winged vampire and the hairy legged vampire bat. The bat is the only city that wants to eat mammals, birds prefer two. Were made at least six to eight million years ago, with fossils that far.
They love to live in caves, abandoned mines, hollow trees and abandoned buildings in good times. AsMost bats can see, but use echolocation to find their prey. Nine years of life in the wild, they have a child of one year, and nest in large family groups, sleeping on his head.
Time to hunt! Bats are small lead over their burrows at dusk in search of comfortable sleep beef or pork fat in this region. The vampire bats that drink blood for food. They drink about two tablespoons of blood per day, and the need to drink at least every two days, or die of hungerDeath.
Ah, a cow Nice big bed. The vampire falls on the shoulders of cows, and readily penetrates the skin with the incisors Sharp, so that two small holes (like Dracula!). The bat then laps the blood in his mouth with his tongue, nothing so clumsy that suck. Imagine your cat licking a bowl with milk.
Anticoagulants or special chemicals that prevent blood clots from forming, the support of the vampire bat drink enough blood to dry before the blood of animals in a position similar toa mosquito. The bat also has a “numbing” agent, to keep its dinner from waking up and kicking it off!
Scientists are studying the anticoagulants in the vampire bat, and have made a drug called ‘Draculin’ to aid in anticoagulation for cardiac patients. Other scientists are using the compounds to help stroke victims limit the effects of blood clots in the brain.
Unfortunately, the vampire bat is considered a pest because the bat population has grown enormously since tropical Forests were thinned to allow more room for grazing cattle. With the addition of cattle over, he came to fly more. Breeders to kill bats in large numbers, as well as bats eat insects.
Dracula's best friend can be a good friend of humanity, by helping scientists to the fight against heart attacks and strokes. We hope that the people about the true nature of bats, kill small to be informed and not continue to be useful, the ignorance and superstition.
Here's to theVampire, and all the creatures that Go Bump in the Night!
