When the rest of the world is going to bed, bats are just waking up. They spend the night swooping through the air, gobbling up insects, plants, and small animals. When the sun comes up, they head home to spend the day hanging around. Bats are happy to sleep upside-down in a variety of places. The movies portray bats as cave dwellers, but you'll find them hanging out upside-down everywhere from attics to bridges to the insides of hollow trees.
Bats are eaten by a number of predators like owls, hawks, snakes, cats etc. Hawks and owls regularly kill and eat bats. Snakes and predatory mammals such as weasels and raccoons climb into bat roosts during the day and attack bats when they are sleeping. In some places, bats are even killed by little birds that fly into bat caves and peck them to death. The birds then drag the bats outside and eat them. Bats sometimes are even eaten by fish that grab them when they are skimming over bodies of water as they try to catch insects. Mammals. A variety of mammals eat bats when they can. Animals such as weasels, minks and raccoons climb into areas where bats roost and eat them while they sleep during the day. These mammals also lie in wait just outside a bat roosting area to pounce on bats as they enter and exit the roost.
