| | The illustrated story of the Vampire bat |
 | | The third theory proposes that the ancestors of vampire bats began to feed on insects and insect larvae they found in wounds on large animals. | | | But animals that feed on blood, whether they are insects, leeches or bats, tend to be small because blood is a precioous commodity and hard to obtain in large amounts. | | | The second theory suggests that the ancestors of vampire bats acquired a taste for blood by feeding on ticks and other blood-feeding ectoparasites of large mammals. |

| | African false vampire, heart-nosed bat |
| | Widely spaced individuals roost in small colonies and rarely share their quarters with bats of other species, whose dead remains have been found under their roosts (suggesting that the false vampires killed and ate them). | | | Much of its diet consists of flightless insects, which the bat sees from its hunting roosts on low branches or bushes, flies to the ground to capture, and returns to its perch to devour. | | | Behavior: Sometimes placed in a genus of its own, Cardioderma, and closely related to the 2 species of bat-eating bats of India and Australia, the African false vampire is primarily an insect-eater. |
