Solution
Mostly, bats live in caves. Caves provide them protection during the day from most predators and the temperature here is very stable. Apart from caves, bats also live in trees, hollowed logs, and rock crevices. They are extremely important to humans as they reduce the insect population and help to pollinate plants.
Bats are active at night. This is a useful adaptation for them, as flight requires a lot of energy during the day. Their thin, black wing membrane (Patagium) may cause excessive heat absorption during the day. This may lead to dehydration.
