Bats are nocturnal so they only come out in the night. There are 1,240 types of bats. Of the 1,240 types of bats, only about 70% are insectivores. The rest are fruit eater, or frugivores. There is a few species that feed from animals other than insects. There is two sub orders of bats there are mega bats and micro bats. Mega bats are the one that eat fruits. The micro bats are the highly specialized bats that use echolocation. Bats are found all around the world except really extreme cold weather. Bats provide important ecological roles all around the world. The mega bats pollinate flowers and disperse fruit seeds, which are vital to tropical plant species that depend on them to distribute their seeds. Bats are economically important because
The Bat 6 game was everything, the most important event for 6th-grade girls, and this was the 50th game. In 1899 — 49 years before — the women of Barlowe Road and Bear Creek Ridge, at the end of the Oregon Trail, decided the rivalry between their towns had gone on long enough. They planned a ladies softball game and picnic, and the men from both towns showed up and made friends. Over the years, the games continued, and eventually, it became traditional for the 6th-grade girls’ teams to play against each other. It was the only game they played, and they could only be on the team for one year. For the nine girls on each of the teams, it was the most important year of their lives.
There is a debate between scientists whether vampire bats should be killed or not. Firstly, ranchers, believe that vampire bats should be killed. For example, Chris Kraul a writer for the Los Angeles Times, shares that bats are feasting and killing off the cattle. Thus, this point proves that bats should be killed(Kraul). Secondly, Researchers believe that bats should be saved. For instance, Kraul reports that the theory for all of the attacks on the livestock are cause by timber cutting so the bats are losing food rich forests so they head toward the cattle for food. Therefore, this confirms that it is our fault for the bats attacking the livestock. Thirdly, I believe that bats should not be killed. To illustrate, Kraul tells bat based research
What if Major League Baseball (MLB) used aluminum bats instead of wood bats? Would the type of bat change the game? Would it affect the safety of the players? MLB will most likely never use aluminum bats for several reasons, but three that stand out are the increased batter performance, the safety to the players, and the durability of the bats.
of the food web. We can see that bat stars are somewhere in the middle of the food web by looking at their prey and predators. We can clearly see that bat stars eat algae, other sea stars, etc. This shows that bat stars are not in high position of the food web like humans that eat almost everything. However, bat stars are not really low in the food web because it is a predator to shellfish, tunicate worms, etc. This shows that bat stars are in the middle. They get eaten by predators, but bat stars themselves are also
Perhaps your slowpitch softball team get far in the last tournament as you had hoped for, or did not make it this year. You definitely don't want that to occur next year! The good news is, it does not have to. Don't let them. The response to becoming a fantastic team may be as easy as getting a brand new one and eliminating that used slowpitch softball bat. Selecting a brand new softball bat isn't easy, but it does take a little research. Don't just walk into Walmart and pick up a $20 no-name bat and call it a day. That would be an enormous mistake if you are looking to improve your team's play and swing for the fence. Today, softball bat technology has went to a fresh level. It is incredible at how much technology has come with softball equipment. You must stay on top of this technology if
Many women across around the world are victims of abuse. A handful of them is harassed and faced unfair treatment. In fact, domestic violence gets so bad and many individuals lose their lives. The number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan is 6614. In contrast, in the same period of time, 11,766 women in the United States were murdered due to domestic abuse. A short story called “The Bats”, written by Chitra Divakaruni is a tale in which a girl and her mother escape to a far relative due to constant and traumatizing abuse. However, this is a repetitive process due to the fact that the mother returns upon believing that the father has changed and will treat them both differently. Due to the fact that the mother returns
Achieving a powerful swing is difficult, so having the best equipment is imperative. To start, grab shock resistant batting gloves and the appropriate bat. The correct bat length is figured out by balancing the bat the top of the barrel. When balanced on the floor, the knob of the bat should graze the bottom of the groin. Each league has different bat regulations based on the bat’s composition. In a wood bat league, the best type of wood is maple because it is more dense, resulting in less flexibility, and more strength than ash. The less flex a bat has the more power the batter can generate because the change in velocity, known as inertia, will be greater resulting in a more powerful impact. In a metal bat league the best choice is a one part composite bat because, like a
Kids all over the world have summer jobs. Most kids rarely get to meet their favorite baseball player. Brian is one of the few lucky kids who gets to meet their favorite player. You’ll find help and motivation in places without even looking for it.
The first time I played baseball was when I was five years old. Whenever I got up to the plate, I was so confident I was going to hit the ball far and hard while using a light metal baseball bat. Fast forward to the fall of 2016, where I could no longer use a metal bat, but instead, I had to walk up to the plate with a wood bat. For about the first six games, I could not hit the ball out of the infield. I got into a bad slump and started to get very down on myself. I later learned from my coach that swinging a wood bat is very different than swinging a metal bat. He said that you have to do a fine job of getting the barrel out to the ball very quickly with the wood bat. After swinging the bat more and more, I understood what he said. But I
The bats that live in Georgia eat insects and play a huge role in our ecosystem throughout the state. Bats can eat up to two-thirds of their weight in insects in a single night, which leads to an enormous amount of insects consumed throughout the warmer months. Living in Georgia, you likely have encountered issues with flying insects or had a battle with
The style of the bat has remained the same for a while now, staying more to what we see today. Now the big difference today is now in the younger ages, they use metal bats instead of wood. This is because balls hit of metal bats go farther. This is because the center of aluminum bats are hollow so, when the ball hits the bat the side of the bat caves in, then it rapidly goes back to normal, slingshotting the ball at higher speed. Also metal bats are less likely to be defective, often if hit right wooden bats will splinter, or break. it is very uncommon for a metal bat to break. Thus is the reason in 1974 the aluminum bat was introduced into college baseball, because the price of new wooden bats were getting pricy. After this the aluminum bat
The mlb has great hitters that can hit a homerun but why do they use wooden bats and not metal ones or at least a compound.I was thinking the used it because the bat weighed more so it would be harder to hit the ball.Aluminium bats are lighter than the wooden bats.Another reason why the mlb is using the wooden bats is because the people are just waiting for the ball to be pitched to them so they can hit the ball out of the park with the wooden bat.
Last May the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees where tied 6-6 in the seventh inning. Christian Vasquez, who was known more as defensive player, and not a hitter. The pitcher throws the ball and Christian swings. It's a home run. His hit won the game. He was the hero of the day to his teammates, and his fans.
At thirteen, I became what most all Jewish girls become at that age: A Bat Mitzvah. The highway to adulthood in the Jewish culture. It's no different than any other cultural event. Preparing for a Bat or Bar Mitzvah is the worst thing ever, spending hours and hours everyday learning my Torah portion, writing my speech, and learning more about the Jewish civilization.
Every year farmers’ crops are subject to droughts, floods, storms, and so much more. But one of the biggest problems that seem to be plaguing the agricultural industry, specifically the cabbage and lettuce industry, is pests. One pest in particular is the diamondback moth, and it has been wreaking havoc all over New York. However, all is not lost; there still will be cabbage and lettuce in the grocery store. The reason for this? Scientists have come up with an effective new way to manage the diamondback moth, and it isn’t reliant on pesticides. It uses genes. But, best of all, it won’t be one farmer paying for one treatment. It will be a universal movement, and this movement has the possibility to revolutionize the crucifer, or, in more simple terms, the cabbage and lettuce market.
