Siberian bat

Okay kiddo, so have you ever seen a bat before? They’re those flying animals that come out at night. Well, Siberian bat is a special kind of bat that lives in a place called Siberia. Siberia is a really cold place that’s far away from where we live. Siberian bats have wings that are kinda furry, just like their bodies. They use these wings to fly around and catch tiny insects that they eat.

Now, do you know where Siberia is? It’s a place that’s covered in snow and ice and is really cold. So, you might think, how do these bats survive in such a cold place? Well, the Siberian bats are clever little creatures. They have a way of hibernating, which means they go into a state where they sleep for a long time and use very little energy to stay alive. This helps them survive the very long and cold winters in Siberia.

Another interesting thing about these bats is that they live in big groups called colonies. Just like how we have friends and family, these bats also have their own little families in these colonies. They like to cuddle up with each other to keep themselves warm during the cold winter nights. Sneaky, isn't it?

So, that’s a little bit about the Siberian bat. They’re like a special kind of bat that live in a really cold and distant place. They're really good at surviving in the cold and have their own little bat families that they like to snuggle with. Pretty cool, huh?
