WHY DO BATS SLEEP UPSIDE DOWN?

Elliot Hobbs

This is partly because they can’t grip with their ‘hands’, so use their feet instead, but their feet wouldn’t support their weight if they stood on them. Also, bats can’t launch themselves from the ground to take off like birds do, so from a hanging position they can use gravity to their advantage to get airborne, as well as being protected from predators.
