Whitby Wildlife Removal: Why Do Bats Sleep Upside Down?
Bats are very curious creatures. Many people think that they are creepy and scary, which is why they are a popular symbol for Halloween, but they get an undeservedly bad rap. Even the way they sleep causes shivers down the spine for many. It seems so unnatural, as does the way they dart through the air in the dark of night.
Although it may seem strange to us, sleeping upside down and zipping haphazardly through the air is perfectly natural for the bat. Though no one knows for sure exactly when or how bats learned to fly and began sleeping upside down, these adaptations make perfect sense for how today’s bats live. Believe it or not, there is a relationship between their nighttime sleeping habits and their flying abilities. Our bat removal experts in Whitby explain how sleeping upside down is advantageous for the small flying creatures.
