You are what you eat: Diet-specific adaptations in vampire bats

You are what you eat: Diet-specific adaptations in vampire bats Vampire bats feed exclusively on blood, a mode of feeding unique amongst mammals. It has therefore been long suspected that vampire bats have highly specific evolutionary adaptations, which would be documented in their genome, and most likely also have an unusual microbiome, the community of micro-organisms assembled in their digestive tract which may help with the digestion of blood. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
