The majority of bat species feed on insects; many of these can consume their entire weight in insects in a single night of feeding.  Several hunt small reptiles and mammals [http://www.batcon.org/batsmag/v15n2-5.html][http://www.iwokrama.org/forest/animals/falsevampirebat.htm]; one species (''Nyctalus lasiopterus'') hunts and kills birds on the wing [http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn1119-bats-revealed-as-bird-killers.html], another (''Noctilio leporinus'') bears long claws on its feet and specializes in catching fish [http://www.photovault.com/Link/Animals/Mammals/Bats/Species/FishingBat.html].  The legendary vampire bat (''Desmodus rotundus'') of South America is the only species of mammal that subsists exclusively on a diet of blood, and is considered a serious pest to the livestock industry there.
