Question: What is the only mammal that can fly?
Answer: A bat.
Class: Willbanks
Note: How fast a bat flies depends on the species, but they can reach speeds over 100 miles per hour A bat’s wing resembles a modified human hand — imagine the skin between your fingers larger, thinner and stretched. This flexible skin membrane that extends between each long finger bone and many movable joints make bats agile fliers.
