Why was I so intrigued with them‚ with who they were? Maybe it was because I felt as if they were like me. Their father‚ being so brave as to defy the societal norms‚ must have raised them like him; to respect all people‚ no matter the color

Bats are flying mammals in the order Chiroptera (pronounced /kaɪˈrɒptərə/). The forelimbs of bats are webbed and developed as wings‚ making them the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight.
