BATS
Bats fly like birds. Yet in fact they are
mammals. They are the only mammals
that can truly be said to fly. Their wings do
not have feathers, but are made of thin
sheet of skin stretched between the long
"finger" bones. In most bats, the wings are
also joined to the legs and tail.

There are more than 2000 different kinds


of bats. Most live in the tropics and warm
parts of the world. The biggest of all bats are
the fruit eaters or flying foxes. One the
kalong, has a wing span, of 1.5 meters. The
insect eaters are usually smaller. Their wing
span is rarely as much as 30 cm. They live in
most parts of the world. Where winter is
cold, they hibernate.

They are mammals.

Their wings do not


have feathers.

Before making an
outline we have to
change the main
ideas/ key sentence.

Salt is very important to


us. It is needed by our
body. It adds taste to our
food. It is used to keep
meat and fish from spoiling.

1. The liver is an important part


of the body. It stores body fats. A
large supply of vitamin A is found
in it. Bile, so necessary for
digestion, is manufactured there.
Other body fluids are regulated
by the liver.

2. Ants are busy animals. Some


ants dig holes for their nests.
Others go out of the holes and
bring back food. In the nest,
some ants take care of the
babies. Other ants keep the nest
clean. The others protect the
nest.

3. Seeds are scattered in many ways.


Birds in their flight drop many. The
winds carry some to distant places.
Others are caught on th wings and
feet of insects. Seeds often stick on
the hairy coat of passing animals.
Those in pods and fruits fall to the
ground in due time.
