# M11582 - 2013 $3.50 The Amazing Bat
Mint Stamps Celebrate Bats
This mint stamp sheet features four stamps picturing different species of bats. It also includes an informational section in the selvage titled "The Amazing Bat: A Curious Flying Mammal." This section reads "Bats are the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight. Commonly believed to be rodents, bats are actually more closely related to hoofed animals and dolphins; their distinct difference from both makes them truly unique. Bats use a sophisticated sonar system to perceive their environment and locate food. They emit ultrasonic pulses which are then echoed back to them, producing a detailed image of the bat's surroundings."
