Are Bats Lizards?

Bats are not lizards. Bats are flying mammals, while lizards are reptiles. Mammals are warm blooded creatures that have fur or hair on their bodies and give birth to live young. While most reptiles on the other hand, such as the lizard, are cold blooded creatures that often have scales and lay eggs when they reproduce.

Ironically enough some species of bats will be found eating lizards, while some species of lizards might also be found eating bats. It should be noted however, that most bats typically have a diet consisting mainly of insects and/or fruit. While some species of bats such as the vampire bat drink the blood of other mammals.
