WHY DO BATS INSIST ON SLEEPING UPSIDE DOWN?

Has anyone seen a Bat sleeping upright? despite the fact that they have legs like normal birds do?

From what i think, it's because their feet is too fragile and tiny to support their weight if they stood on them. They can't actually grip with their hands, so use feet instead. And from studies about Bats, they can't launch themselves from the ground to take off like birds do, so from a hanging position they can use gravity to their advantage to get airborne and fly off.

Any other ideas is welcomed. Thank you

Woooow,i could never have noticed that,even if i had i could have concluded that they are playing.lol

This is really an amazing study from some scientists. This post is truly educating; this is my first time of coming across this kind of information but as a scientist, l will not just absorb this information; l will carry out research and study on my own to know if it will conform with that of other scientists.

thank you, wish you more knowledge on that.

Why do people sleep by lying down? It is just about their nature :)

I need to do more studies on bat to know why they sleep upside down
