Are There Really Vampire Bats?

Are There Really Vampire Bats?: "Yes. Of the three species of vampires in North America, only a single specimen has been recorded for the United States, in southwest Texas. Despite ghoulish urban legend, vampires do not suck blood - they make a small incision with their sharp front teeth and lap up the blood with their tongue. Vampires in Mexico and South America feed on the blood of livestock such as cattle and horses, as well as deer, wild pigs and even seals."
