Read the passage and choose the best answer
Anyone who thinks that bats are dangerous pets is wrong in most cases. In fact, most species of bats are
helpful to human beings. Sixty to Seventy percent of bat species eat insects. These bats will eat anything that they
find as they fly through the air at night. Some people even try to attract bats to their property to help control
mosquitoes. Other bats are necessary to the pollination of specific species of plants.
Unfortunately, bats are frightening to everyone who believes in the old stories of vampire bats. In reality, only
three species of bats feed on blood, usually only from small animals. It is true, however, that vampire bats can
spread diseases such as rabies to other species. Even though many people will continue to dislike and fear bats, it
is important to remember that they are an important part of the ecology, especially in rainforests. Anything that
endangers to bats in these areas will also affect the region’s fragile ecosystems. Anyone who is interested in
learning more about bats can visit his or her local library.
