About Bat
A mouselike flying mammal with a furry body and wings.
According to modern definitions, bats are flying mammals. They have hair and make milk for their babies. But the Bible groups them with other flying animals, like birds. The bat is included in the two lists of unclean birds (Leviticus 11:19; Deuteronomy 14:18).
