    Charles Darwin once said, "Natural selection, survival of the fittest". This is the basis for nature's continuous selection and elimination, dinosaurs and bats are two creatures in nature, and nature cannot escape such a law. The extinction of the dinosaurs was the result of natural selection, and the dinosaurs, as the overlords of the earth at that time, could not keep up with the pace of natural selection, so they became extinct.

    We can consider these aspects, one is the volume reason; the second is the physiological structure; The third is the struggle of species.

    First of all, the dinosaur is by far the largest creature, and he eats a lot in a day. There is a theory about the extinction of dinosaurs that with the change of climate, dinosaurs can no longer find anything to eat, and slowly cannot meet their physiological needs, resulting in a large number of dinosaur groups extinction. The bat is very small compared to the dinosaur, and its food is more complex, and it can eat food in the air and on the ground with the ability to fly, so the bat survived.

    Secondly, there is a huge difference between the two physiology. According to the theory of the extinction of the dinosaurs, the earth's temperature dropped dramatically because of the speed of the earth's rotation. For dinosaurs, it was a cold-blooded animal, and it did not have warm fluff on its body, and it could not adapt to the sudden change in climate and froze to death.

    But for bats, it has a relatively cold environment, and its wings can wrap its whole body, or fly to a small cave to keep warm.

    Third, according to legend, the extinction of the dinosaurs may also be due to the struggle of species, and the emergence of some new mammals ate all the eggs of the dinosaurs, and the dinosaurs slowly became extinct without offspring. The bat moves at night, and the space it lives in is relatively secret, and these mammals cannot find its offspring, so the bat has accumulated a certain number of colonies.

    There are many theories about the extinction of dinosaurs and the fact that bats stayed, but in the end, it will be attributed to the fact that dinosaurs were too slow to adapt to nature, bats had wings and could fly to warmer places when the climate changed, and the large-scale migration of dinosaurs was obviously not possible. We have no way of knowing if the bats of ancient times were what they are now, and how are the bats of today not the result of evolution?

    Because bats are small in size, they are more conducive to survival in different environments, and they have stronger adaptability than dinosaurs. The size of the dinosaurs was very large and they could survive in that era, but in that catastrophe, the larger the size, the more obvious it was to become a target, so the dinosaurs became extinct, but the bats have survived to the present.

    First of all, let me say first, there are a bunch of biologists and dinosaurs crawling black in the comment area here, and they don't know anything and are talking nonsense over there. First of all, the dinosaurs did not go extinct, and there is another kind that has survived to this day and dominated the skies. Secondly, bats appeared later than dinosaurs, about 55 million years ago, and non-avian dinosaurs all became extinct 65 million years ago.

    Mammals also died 90 percent of the KPG mass extinctions.

    Some bats are small in size, and the space and food requirements for survival are relatively small, but dinosaurs are very large, and once the food ** is reduced, it will cause a large number of dinosaurs to die.

    It may be because bats have a strong anti-cancer ability compared to dinosaurs, due to their special DNA distribution, they also have a strong DNA repair ability, and there is one less fragment in the gene, which is completely different from other mammals, so even if cancer invades, he cannot replicate in the bat's body, so most viruses are really helpless to bats.

    Personally, I think that bats and dinosaurs are both ancient creatures, so why didn't bats become extinct? Probably because bats are relatively small, and perhaps bats have once appeared as large as large dinosaurs. But for special reasons it disappeared, and the small bat was left behind.

    Bats don't need extinction to benefit humans, bats are a link in the food chain, we need them to control insects, spread pollen, etc., extinct bats will also upset the balance of the food chain and the food web.

    Because although bats are relatively small, this race is very intelligent, and after several genetic mutations, they are becoming more and more adaptable to the environment.

    It's almost there, no one dared to eat them, and now people are going to hunt and eat them one after another, regardless of the virus infection, and they are about to become extinct. However, the Bat King said that before they went extinct, humans might have to go extinct first!

    Because the bat is highly reproductive, and its small body is easy to migrate, it is no longer bound by geographical location, and it is easy to find prey that can be hunted.

    Bat has evolved for hundreds of millions of years, why can't it surpass humans? To evolve from the perspective of species, different species survive in the world have different requirements for the environment, different environments have a great impact on the survival of different species, and species evolve in order to adapt to new environmental changes! It can be seen from this that the evolution of species is to adapt to the environment, and the species that cannot adapt only need to die out or produce new species.

    Matter is in motion, and it is the evolution of bats that cannot surpass that of humans, and it is the human cognition of the evolutionary appearance of species. The evolution of all things is in response to the changing environment!

    I think that in its real tens of millions of years of evolution, bats have not achieved the same intelligence as humans, but they have found the most satisfactory way to survive, bats have super immunity, DNA damage repair ability, and metabolism several times higher than that of humans, and body temperature enough to kill many deadly viruses, these genetic talents like bugs, are not worse than human intelligence.

    The bat has evolved for hundreds of millions of years and has not changed much, the head is still so small, and it has evolved only to adapt to the environment. The reason why humans have become higher animals is that humans evolved to modify the environment and make it more human-friendly.

    Biological evolution is like solving a mathematical problem, each has its own way of solving the problem, the method is different, the natural result is different, the solution of the bat must become a bat, and the solution of man must become a man, this is natural selection, the survival of the fittest, every creature has its destiny trajectory, including human is no exception.

    In addition to bats, dinosaurs, crocodiles, and many creeping animals have lived and evolved over hundreds of millions to hundreds of millions of years. Not to mention surpassing human beings, even culture has not been invented. But other life forms actually have evolved very victorious, but they are different from us humans.

    For example, insects have many species of insects on the earth, and scientists can only budget their species, and the total number of insects in the world cannot be weighed by units. With our current technology, humans cannot eliminate all insects, and insects will cause insect plagues and plagues. In this way, humans are actually not as powerful as insects.

    Human evolution is not inevitable, it is occasional. So it's normal that bats and other animals haven't evolved and surpassed humans.

    Because bats didn't evolve with the brain in mind. The biggest difference between humans and other creatures is the brain, we have a very powerful brain, bats don't. So even if bats have survived for hundreds of millions of years, they have not surpassed humans.

    This is because their brain structure is different from ours, and their brains are not able to think as flexibly as we do.

    No, there is no scientific basis at all; Bats and dinosaurs are not the same species, and although the origin of bats has not yet been discovered, it is known that bats are mammals.

    The first point is that bats and dinosaurs have no basis for their evolution, and the second point is that it seems to be a special kind of genetically modified and dinosaurs, and there is no basis for specificity.

    Yes, because some people have found that bats look more similar to dinosaurs, and the overall skeleton is relatively large, and they like to eat meat.

    Viruses are living things. Virus (English: virus, formerly known as "filter virus" in Chinese) is a non-cellular form composed of a nucleic acid molecule (DNA or RNA) and protein, which is a biological, unable to manifest life phenomena on its own, and lives by parasitism between living and non-living organisms, it is neither biological nor non-biotic, and is not currently classified in the five realms (prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants and animals).

    It is a piece of DNA or RNA wrapped in a protective shell, and through the mechanism of infection, these simple organisms can use the host's cellular system to replicate themselves, but cannot grow and replicate independently. Viruses can infect almost all living organisms that have cellular structures. The first known virus was the tobacco mosaic virus, discovered and named by Martinus Bergerinck in 1899, and more than 5,000 types of viruses have been identified to date.

    The science that studies viruses is called virology and is a branch of microbiology.

    Not the earliest pterocodactyla fossils found in the Middle Eocene, including the second finger in North America, which is still in a free state, the index finger Ibis bat, and the German tree-like shrew Australopithecus. They belong to two extinction families, and both have intact skeletons and impressions, indicating that they are fully adapted for flight.

    The Eocene is the second Paleogene of the Cenozoic Era, about 10 million years later than the Cretaceous dinosaur period, so the earliest bats did not appear in the dinosaur era.

    Bats are very similar to some of the pterosaurs we see in the Dinosaur Museum, they all have wings like thin membranes, and they can also fly in the sky like pterosaurs, but bats are not pterosaurs evolved, if it is evolution, then this is too different, because pterosaurs are very large, and bats are very small, and pterosaurs are oviparous, but bats are mammals, so the two of them are completely different species.

    Bats did not evolve from pterosaurs We all know that the age of dinosaurs ended as early as 65 million years ago, and all dinosaurs were extinct, including pterosaurs, so how could an extinct creature evolve into a bat. The ancestors of bats are different, and according to the current fossils, the ancestors of bats should belong to the Eocene Eocene Ishen bats and clawed bats. These two bats are a few different from modern bats, but in general they still have a lot of similarities with modern bats.

    It's just that the hind limbs of the Ishen bat and the clawed bat are more developed than the hind limbs of the modern bat, and they can make better use of the hind limbs to climb the trees, and the hind limbs of the current bat are actually degenerate, without much strength, they can only support themselves and hang on the branches, and the tail of the Ishen bat and the claw bat is also longer than that of modern bats, which should be to better maintain balance in flight, but the current bats basically have no tail, or the tail is very short.

    Early bats were arboreal but the Ishen bats and claw bats were not very good at flying, because their wings were not as wide as the current bats' wings, so they mostly jumped from trees to glide, and the size of modern bats is not as large as that of the Ishen bat and claw bats, which should be the result of adaptation to flight, because they are too large to fly, and they need too much food. They only eat insects, so they have limited access to food, and gradually evolve in the direction of being smaller.

    We all know that bats rely on ultrasound for positioning, so this unique way of flying has also given us a lot of inspiration for humans, and we have also invented the ultrasonic positioning system through bats, so nature is very magical, and we should be kind to all kinds of creatures in nature.

    It wasn't the dinosaurs that evolved. Bats are mammals, dinosaurs are reptiles, not a species, and evolutionary theories are unreliable.

    Although bats can fly, they are mammals and have no direct relationship with dinosaurs, which evolved from oviparous animals. Modern science suggests that bats may have originated from the most primitive species of the gendrivous order Eumatria. Although bats look similar to pterosaurs, they are not related to each other, and pterosaurs are not dinosaurs.

    The bat is viviparous and can fly, it is a relatively special mammal, and from the fossils found, it can be seen that the ancestor of the bat is a relatively small land mammal. Dinosaurs were large reptiles. Mammals are more advanced than reptiles.

    About 200 million years ago, mammals began to appear. If you know a little bit about the history of the Earth, you will know that it is still the world of dinosaurs. To avoid dinosaurs as much as possible, mammals choose to survive at night.

    We know that living things don't have ** abilities, so we have different evolutionary paths. The reason why humans accumulate climbing genes is because ancient human ancestors could pick fruits from trees, so climbing genes are very beneficial to their survival.

    Bats accumulate flight genes because they can fly from tree to tree, so flight genes are good for their survival. Due to different living environments, the same gene may be beneficial for humans but harmful for bats. Over time, the two species will accumulate completely different genes, and then reproductive isolation will occur, and the two species will separate from each other and embark on completely different evolutionary paths.

    From the perspective of environmental adaptability, bats are highly adaptable, can survive in a dirty environment, and will not get sick even if they carry a variety of viruses. Bats have a strong ability to heal themselves from injured cells, which makes them almost immune to disease. If they were equivalent to humans, they would have almost twice as long a lifespan.

    Although humans do not have the super-healing ability of bats, they have learned to modify their environment to reduce the occurrence of disease. In addition, due to the progress of science, the quality of life of human beings has improved, and the life span has been extended accordingly. Although humans do not have the super-healing ability of bats, they have learned to change their environment and reduce the occurrence of disease.

    In addition, due to the advancement of science, the quality of life of human beings has increased, and life expectancy has increased accordingly.

    In other words, if we compare bats and humans from different perspectives, we get different results. Therefore, it is pointless to simply compare who is better, bats or humans. In this case, it is difficult to say why, after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, bats have not surpassed humans.
