Comboanimals Information

The Octobat has an incredible talent—it can fly in the air and swim underwater! It has special wings like a vampire bat, which help it glide gracefully through the sky. These wings have long finger bones that make them strong and easy to move. When it wants to go underwater, the Octo-Bat uses its tentacles, which are like arms with suckers, to swim fast. It even has gills to breathe underwater!

These creatures, like their bat cousins, live in large groups in caves however, unlike their bat cousins, these caves are sometimes underwater. They often live in underwater tunnels created by the great whale mole where they sleep pressed up against eachother. Like their octopus cousins they have the ability to change their colour to camouflage themselves into their surrounding or to look like another animal to trick would be prey. When resting in large groups they will all change colour to look like a coral reef where unsuspecting prey will swim into. Together they can take down very large prey.

 At night they usually all go hunting together, they will fly in large groups and will hunt fish, birds or small land mammals. The Octo-Bat catches its food either in the air or near the water's surface. They will grab wrap their tentacles around their prey and restrict their movements. Just like vampire bats, the Octo-Bat survives by drinking blood. It has sharp teeth and a beak-like mouth that it uses to pierce the skin of its prey and suck its blood!
