How is a vampire bat born?

Vampire bats are born through a typical mammalian reproductive process, where the female bat gives birth to a single pup after a gestation period of about 7 to 8 weeks. The mother bat often roosts in colonies, providing a safe environment for the pup. After birth, the mother nurses her young with her milk until it is old enough to start consuming blood, which is their primary food source. The pups are dependent on their mothers for several weeks before they learn to fly and hunt for food on their own.
