00:03 Bats comprise a diverse array of species,
00:09 among which the vampire bat stands out
00:12 as the most perilous.
00:15 Moving in colonies or flocks, bats
00:17 possess a propensity for draining the blood
00:20 from any living organism.
00:22 They may cross their path when they descend upon a location.
00:28 Vampire bats feed on the blood of these farm animals.
00:33 This horse's blood is on the menu tonight.
00:37 It's a master of echolocation and uses
00:40 bouncing ultrasonic sound waves to locate its victim.
00:44 It can tell whether warm blood runs close to the skin,
00:50 thanks to heat sensors near its nose.
00:56 With the sharpest teeth in the animal kingdom,
00:58 the vampire bat gently shears away the hairs of its victim
01:02 and makes a small incision in the skin.
01:06 The tongue slips along the funnel-shaped bottom lip,
01:09 lapping up the blood.
01:11 Dinner is served.
01:12 The chickens still don't know what's going to happen to them.
01:19 Look at him move.
01:21 He's hungry, and his two sharp, crystal-like canines
01:24 are going to end his burning thirst.
01:27 Vampires know how to wait and will not seriously attack
01:31 until their prey are asleep.
01:34 Right now, it is important to harass them
01:37 so that their hearts beat fast and so that their arteries are
01:40 at high speed.
01:42 Vampires look for the most irrigated and thinnest skin
01:45 part of the body.
01:47 The anus of this chicken is the spot.
01:50 Bon appetit.
01:53 This cow is the perfect prey for this little Dracula.
01:58 These vampires really do have fangs, sharp upper incisors
02:02 that can delicately slice into their prey.
02:06 What this bat sucks will not empty the prey of blood
02:09 and make it die, but they will kill millions of dollars
02:13 worth of cattle each year from rabies transmitted
02:16 through vampire bat bites.
02:19 It may not be supernatural, but that's definitely scary.
