    Chiroptera is the order of mammals (Mammalia) that includes all bats, living (~1,200 species) and fossil. Among mammals, only the rodents (order Rodentia) have more species than bats. Bats occur almost everywhere in the world except for polar regions and some isolated oceanic islands. Bats are most diverse in the tropics and subtropics.
