The bat was a flying mammal that was found on Earth and other planets.

When the USS Enterprise was traveling to the planet Thallus, a creature claiming to be Count Dracula appeared on the bridge and turned into a bat, then a mist. He escaped into the turbolift. (TOS comic: "The Haunting of Thallus!")

The followers of Khan Noonien Singh had taken refuge in a cavern that was once inhabited by bats on Ceti Alpha V. Khan had built up a supply of explosives from the nitrates found in the guano. (TOS novel: To Reign in Hell: The Exile of Khan Noonien Singh)

The Humans on Torgu-Va had collected droppings from a type of bat found on the planet to create nitrates. They also used the calls from the bat as identifying sounds in the tunnels outside of Federation Battle Station Torgu-Va. (TNG novel: The Forgotten War)
