Learn More About The Bat Face Drawing

Scary or sweet? When you learn how to draw a bat face, the choice is yours.

Bats are small mammals. Just like us, they are warm-blooded, furry, and they feed milk to their young.

There are about 1,200 different species of bats in the world, and they vary widely in appearance and habits. For example, on the island of Papua New Guinea, flocks of thousands of fruit bats soar overhead in the daytime, searching for fresh fruit.

But other types of bats seem mysterious and even fearsome. Vampire bats like the one in this illustration have sharp teeth.

They are very small, no more than 3.5 inches in length. They silently approach farm or forest animals (and sometimes humans) under the cover of darkness, make a small cut with their teeth, and drink their blood.

Yikes! Vampire bats are pretty scary. But, like every other animal and plant, they have an important role to play in the web of life.

Want to try your hand at other animals that many people fear? Get started with a black widow spider or a scaley, coiled cobra.
