"Disgusting" or "Neat"?

It all depends on your point of view...about the vampire bat's eating habits.

The Louisville (KY) Zoo's newest exhibit is reported on by Sheldon S. Shafer, Louisville Courier-Journal.

There is a photo of a vampire bat at a cup of blood and the story references bats coming to a "pan" of their favorite food. The NC Zoo vampire bats take their blood from hummingbird-type feeders.

The article reports that "blind as a bat" does not refer appropriately to the vampire bats, or any bats.
