The bat, an animal capable of flight, is correctly placed in which class?
AAves
BMammalia
CReptilia
DAmphibia
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Mammalia
1. The bat flies, which can tempt one toward Aves.
2. But the bat has hair and mammary glands, so it is a mammal.
3. Rule out Aves: birds have feathers and a beak, which the bat lacks.
4. Flight alone does not decide the class; mammary glands and hair do.
