Vampire bats found in Central and South America. Vampire bats tend to live in colonies in almost completely dark places, such as caves, old wells, hollow trees, and buildings. They range in Central to South America and live in arid to humid, tropical and subtropical areas.

A vampire bat colony numbers can range from single digits to hundreds in roosting sites. Their food source is the blood of other animals, a dietary trait called hematophagy. They consume many food sources, including nectar, pollen, insects, fruit and meat.
