Question

evonne is writing a research paper about the habits of bats. she is going to paraphrase the important information from about bats in the same order details are given. what are the four best points to include in logical order? bats belong to a group of animals called chiroptera (ki - rop - tera), which means hand wing. they are the only mammals capable of true flight as their forelimbs have adapted as wings. other mammals like the flying squirrel glide rather than fly. bats are often seen swooping through the sky at dawn and dusk. bats live all over the world in caves and trees, under bridges, and in mines and other structures. more than 50 unique species of bats live in national parks. trees, caves, mines, talus slopes, and rock crevices provide important shelter for bats to rest (or roost), safe from predators. most bats are frugivores (fruit eaters) and many are insectivores (insect eaters). bats are small, have a high metabolism, and rapidly burn energy when flying. therefore, they must consume a lot of food for their size. some bats may eat over twice their weight in insects or fruit. bats use a lot of energy flying around and must consume a lot of food, such as insects, to fuel their daily activities. when cold weather drives insects away, bats must choose to hunker down and hibernate or migrate to warmer areas with a more abundant food supply. some bat species hibernate, some migrate, and some do both. and in temperate climates, like florida, bats may be able to stay year - round. bats are the only mammals that can actually fly rather than glide. bats may hibernate and migrate during cold weather. some bats in warm climates, like florida, stay year - round. bats live in places like caves, trees, and mines that provide protection from predators. bats swoop through the sky during dusk and dawn. most bats eat a lot of fruit or insects to fuel their daily activities.

Explanation:

We should first introduce a unique characteristic of bats (flight - related), then their activity times, followed by their habitats, and finally their behavior in different climates. This order provides a logical flow from general unique trait to daily activity, living places, and seasonal behavior.

Answer:

1. Bats are the only mammals that can actually fly rather than glide.
2. Bats swoop through the sky during dusk and dawn.
3. Bats live in places like caves, trees, and mines that provide protection from predators.
4. Some bats in warm climates, like Florida, stay year - round.
