Bats are related to birds I think. When you find out let me know please. I am very interested.

Everyone says that bats are related to mammals as they do not lay eggs..they give birth through pregnancy.

Bats are mammals and here are some fun facts for you to enjoy. :)
Fun facts
• Do you know that a bat can be your best friend? Not only do they pollinate the world’s fruit-producing plants, but they also eat thousands of mosquitoes in a night!
• Out of nearly 1,000 species of bats, only 3 species in the subfamily Desmodontinae actually feed on blood. Bats are incredibly beneficial to the world’s ecosystems, and thus to people.
• Bats are not blind, although some bats do use echolocation to find their insect meals.
• A mother bat can locate her pup by its scent and sound out of millions in a roost!

All birds are animals. I think you mean MAMMALS. Bats are officially mammals. Not birds.

Bats are mammals. Bats give birth to live young (don't hatch eggs), and bats are warm blooded.

bats are mamals which feed almost exclusively on insects and are thus extremely beneficial. In fact, bats are the only major predators of night-flying insects. One bat can eat between 600 and 1,000 mosquitoes and other insect pests in just one hour
