Vampires in the movies are often depicted related to bats. It turns out that it is true that there are vampire bats that suck blood.
Vampire bats have the Latin name Desmodontinae sp. Vampire bats target mammals as their prey. These animals find their prey by listening to the sound of their prey’s breath.
After landing and being near their prey, bat Vampires are able to detect blood vessels under the skin by feeling their heat. This bat is capable of sucking as much blood as its own body weight.
