The myotis myotis is a bat.\n\nIts taxonomic classification is as follows:\nKINGDOM: Animalia\nPHYLUM: Chordata\nCLASS: Mammalia\nFAMILY: Vespertilionidae\n\nSome of its common names are:\n\nGreater Mouse-Eared Bat\nLarge Mouse-Eared Bat\nMouse-Eared Bat\n\nFor more information, you can check this website:\nhttp://www.redlist.org/search/details.php?species=14133

A bat is also called  flittermouse as well as flickermouse, flindermouse, and flintymouse. Bat is  also known as Cave Bat, Canyon Bat, or Darksinger. A group of bats is called a “clowd”.\n\nThere are several varieties of Bat, as seen in the various names above. The Flittermice are those bats be found in residential areas. They have tiny thumb-long bodies covered with soft, fine fur. Membranous, delicate wings with tiny bloodvessels and a soft downy flocking can stretch about two to three handspans across. Farmers report seeing the small Flittermouse diving through clusters of bugs near their houselantern, seeming to sift out the larger flying beetles from the smaller gnats and flies with a meticulous discrimination. Also, a clowd of Flittermice will settle on one type of fruit tree and drain the juices from every succulent globe, while ignoring other varieties immediately beside it. \n\nCave and Canyon Bats as implied by their names are those found in caves or canyons are larger; their torsos can range up to a hand in size, and the wingspan about a fore. Hollow, jointed bones with minute, powerful claws at ‘elbow’ and ‘wrist’ hold and structure the membrane of the wings and allow a meticulous folding or a taut expansion of the wing.\n\nThis small flying mammal has a natural ‘sonar’ system, is a devoted mate, and can eat its weight in insects in one night. It prefers to roost in caves by day and flies by night, using bounced echoes to determine its location in the air. \n\nBats that have been able to send and receive simple messages through aural pulses by echolocation and bats who specialize in this skill are  known as Morjualerons, translated as “Songspeakers” and “Darksingers”. \n\nAll varieties have the same basic body structure, topped by a dog-like little head with large ears. A short muzzle contains both a fine mesh of bony gum (good for trapping and grinding insects) and a few tiny, sharp teeth, often used to pierce the skin of fruit. An equally sharp, tube-like tongue is then projected into the fruit and the juices extracted with a sucking action. Huge light-absorbing eyes seem efficiently designed for night flight, but in fact the Bat can fly in complete darkness.♥

G'day Chloerochelle,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nHyenas have their own family. They are'n't either dogs or cats. They are most closely related to Herpestidae which conains mongooses and meerkats.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

The Cheetah (derived from Sanskrit word Chitraka meaning "Speckled") (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae) that hunts by speed rather than by stealth or pack tactics. It is the fastest of all terrestrial animals and can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph) in short bursts

Probably a komodo dragon or crocodile. Most people don't know what a komodo dragon is so I have included a link with some pictures.

I love it!  Is there any good online source that lets you put in DOB's to get information?\n\nThe only thing I know about it is Tigers and Dogs are supposed to make great companions.  \n\nHow about the elements?  Like Wood and metal?

They are distantly related.\n\nThey share the same taxonomic clade:\nKingdom (Animalia), phylum (chordata), subphylum (vertabrata), class (mammalia), order (Carnivora) but it ends there, cats go on to have the family Felidae and bears the family Ursidae\n\nAfter family there is still the clades genus and species.\n\nHumans spilt from bears and cats at the order level.\n\nA cat is just as related to a bear as it is a dog, a seal or a raccoon.

I'm guessing a Bactrian Camel

Diatryma (also called Gastornis - these were very tall birds, about 2.1 metres or 7 feet tall), some cat-like mammals called creodonts, and dog-like mammals called mesonychids.\n\nTo see a picture of the eohippus (dawn horse), go to http://www.walkerswest.com/img/HistoryPics/Eohippus.gif\n\nTo see a picture of the eohippus being captured by the diatryma, go to http://www.avph.hpg.ig.com.br/jpg/diatryma.jpg

Well, every animal has it's own set of stats.  I suggest you google a bit.

A dolpin is a warm blooded animal. It is also a mammal. \nThe stereotypical image of an infected ("rabid") animal is a "mad dog" foaming at the mouth, but cats, ferrets, raccoons, skunks, fox, coyotes and bats also become rabid. Squirrels, chipmunks, other rodents and rabbits are very seldom infected, perhaps because they would not usually survive an attack by a rabid animal. Rabies may also be present in a so-called 'paralytic' form, rendering the infected animal unnaturally quiet and withdrawn.

Yes; their scientific name is Mesocricetus auratus and they belong to family Cricetidae.\n\n--------------\nEDIT: and to think that a week ago I answered this seriously...

My assumption is that you're in Australia, because you mentioned being in the Far North.  There are 76 species of bats in Australia, including both Mircrochiroptera and Megachiroptera, so there is really no way to determine what bat species you are seeing without getting a closer look.  In general, bats do not bite or attack people unless they are sick (rabies or some other disease) or in defence if you bother them.  Small bats are usually insect-eaters, but they might also eat fruit, nectar, or maybe even blood.  Regardless of what they eat, it is very unlikely for a bat to attack someone who is not bothering them.  Even bats that drink blood usually choose farm animals (often cattle) to drink from, which they do while the animal is asleep.  The bats you see could be flying over the water for a couple of reasons - they are either eating insects that are also flying over the water, or they may be swooping down to the water and drinking.  Here are a couple of websites with some good general info about Australia's bats: http://rainforest-australia.com/bats.htm and http://www.sydneybats.org.au/cms/download.php?c8d7e0907cf9345121606ec3388f0619\n\nIf you want to find out more info about specific bats, you could probably buy a good field guide to mammals (or bats, specifically) online or at a good bookstore.  Hope this helps!
