Mammals
On Earth, the only flying mammals that exist are bats. They can be found in all areas of the globe except for certain isolated islands, extreme desert conditions, and the polar regions. Bats have a bad reputation, what with horror vampire tales and the fear of rabies. There are actually 1,000 different bat species that have been identified, including the Flying Fox which plays a critical role in the ecosystem, as well as the Gambian epauleted bat which is a very private and shy creature.
