Even if you find bats (the animal, not the baseball equipment) to be a little creepy (they are associated with Halloween, after all), you can’t deny that they’re interesting little creatures. Bats are nocturnal — meaning they stay up all night while the rest of us are asleep — and often spend their days sleeping in dark places like caves and hanging upside down. Not to mention that they’re the only mammal that is genuinely capable of flying (unlike flying squirrels, for instance, which only glide) and that they use echolocation to find their way around in the dark. But just because these creatures of the night may seem serious doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of bat puns and bat jokes to keep you laughing in both broad daylight and the dark. These creatures can be pretty funny!

Of course, the fact that bats are the center of so much lore only makes them that much more fascinating. We love ’em so much that we even created an entire collection of bat coloring pages to celebrate our little winged friends. So, be sure to check those out after you sink your fangs into the following bat puns and jokes.
