What's more, very rarely will Vampire bats feed off humans. It is true that bats only survive for about two days if they don't get blood. This is because blood is a very low energy food. However, bats feed each other. So if one bat is low on energy another bat will give it some of its food. They only take about a spoonfull of blood at a single sitting. Bats being this great blood thirsty monster figure is only literary licence used by folklore and cheap pulp fiction. All in all I wouldn't be too worried about a vampire bat!
