Suddenly a small, winged shape swoops past your head, twisting and darting after bugs. That's not a bird, and it's not a spooky monster from a Halloween story. It's a bat, the only mammal in the whole world that can truly fly!  \nBecause they zip around so fast in the dark, people once believed bats were blind. That myth isnot true at all, because bats can see just fine. In the dark, though, many bats find their way using atrick called echolocation. They make squeaky sounds, then listen as the sound bounces back off objects, so they can tell where a tiny insect is buzzing.  \nSpeaking of insects, catching them is one of the most helpful things a bat does. A single little brown bat can gobble up hundreds of mosquitoes and other bugs in just one hour. Because bats eat so many pests, farmers save lots of money on crop-eating insects each year. So the next time a bug bites you, you might wish a hungry bat were nearby!  \nNot every bat hunts bugs, though, because some bats love to eat fruit instead. As these fruit bats fly from tree to tree, they spread seeds and pollen, which helps new plants grow. Bananas, mangoes, and agave come from plants that bats help to pollinate. So a creature people once feared on Halloween is really a gardener, a bug catcher, and the only flying mammal all in one!  \nBats: Halloween's Misunderstood Mammals Name:  \n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What makes a bat different from every other mammal?\u003Cbr>A.
