Vampire Bats Invade Doyle Brunson Property

Blood thirsty Vampire bats have begun nesting on the property of poker great Doyle Brunson, Gambling911.com has learned.

The colony of bats eat approximately two to six thousand insects every night, according to Brunson.  A few have swooped towards his head, he reveals.

Unlike fruit-eating bats, the vampire bat has a short, conical muzzle. It also lacks a nose leaf, instead having naked pads with U-shaped grooves at the tip. The common vampire bat also has specialized thermoreceptors on its nose, which aids the animal in locating areas where the blood flows close to the skin of its prey.

The common vampire bat feeds mostly on the blood of mammals (including humans), whereas both the hairy-legged vampire bat and white-winged vampire bat feed on the blood of birds

Vampire bats are believed to be the only species of bats in the world to "adopt" another young bat if something happens to the bat's mother.

Brunson is residing in his Montana summer home.
