    Stats (995 candidates)
    Question 1 passed: 45.9 %
    So, just there ahead of us, that dark hole, is a cave and that's where we're heading. Watch your step, it's *.

    Question 2 passed: 50.1 %
    Heading into the dark where the vampires roost is seriously spooky stuff. The cave * with hundreds of years of poo.

    Question 3 passed: 53.5 %
    It's the perfect hidey-hole for bats. In the * corners of the cave, fluttering shapes catch my eye.

    Question 4 passed: 43.4 %
    Oh, look at that! Can you see that Johnny? One in? Yep, got one . So what I have in this bag is an animal that's probably inspired more * and legend than any other animal in the world.

    Question 5 passed: 51.4 %
    It's a vampire bat. They have also possibly the * teeth of any animal, which explains why I'm wearing these big, thick gardening gloves before I even think about trying to get it out.

    Question 6 passed: 52 %
    Last time I tried to do this, it bit clean through the * and into my finger. So I'm going to go to quite careful. Right!

    Question 7 passed: 49 %
    Let's get you into a good position. Look at him whirling around to try and get his... * canine teeth into my fingers. Okay.

    Question 8 passed: 63.9 %
    So that is the face that all the fuss is about: the vampire bat. If you look at its *, you can see the most special set of teeth found just about anywhere.

    Question 9 passed: 48.3 %
    Above me now is a roost of about 30 or 40 vampire bats and at night,they'll take wing using that remarkable wing *, and fly out in search of a warm-blood meal.

    Question 10 passed: 26.3 %
    They use the * sharp teeth at the front of the mouth here... I don't want to get my finger too close.

    Question 11 passed: 26 %
    I just know I'll get bitten on camera! But they shave away a portion of hair from the animal they're going to be feeding on, and then bite a tiny hole and then lap away at the blood that leaks out, and their * keeps the blood flowing, it's what's called an anticoagulant.

    Question 12 passed: 56.8 %
    They take in about a soup spoon of blood, which doesn't sound like much but when you look at the size of this tiny bat, actually for its body weight, that's an * meal.

    Question 13 passed: 27.1 %
    While it might seem that everything about vampire bats is just a bit * and grotesque amongst themselves, they're really quite thoughtful creatures.

    Question 14 passed: 24.8 %
    In fact, if they come back from having got a very good meal, and there's another bat here that hasn't managed to feed, one of these guys will actually * their blood meal and give some to the other bat.

    Question 15 passed: 34.9 %
    They look after each other. So vampire bats - they may be the creature of * but with possibly the sharpest teeth in the whole animal kingdom, I reckon they're worth a place on the Deadly 60.
