Most bats hang upside down when they're resting. A bat called Myzopoda aurita that lives in Madagascar hangs right-side up. Scientists recently discovered that these bats don't use suction to hang, even though part of the scientific name, Myzopoda, means "sucker foot." As it turns out, the sucker-footed bat doesn't have suction cups, but is able to "glue" itself upright by secreting a sticky sweat from its wrists and ankles.
