BAT
(Heb «’talleph») The bat was classified with birds and declared unclean (Lev. 11:13, 19; Deut. 14:11, 12, 18). It hides in dark places and is a nocturnal creature.
Tristan lists seventeen species in Palestine. It is a flying mammal, covered with hair and not feathers, with teeth instead of a beak; she breastfeeds her little ones and does not lay eggs; It does not have true feathered wings, but rather membranes that extend, supported by very long fingers, and which also connect the front and rear limbs.
