Since the dawn of history, traits of longevity and eternal life have been attributed to bats. In many legends and stories, bats are mentioned as having mystical and eternal qualities, while in Western culture a tendency has developed to make them demonic and frightening. Bats are closely related to the ecosystem that affects human nutrition completely, in that they feed on insects and pests that attack the crop. They are the only mammals capable of flying, with a sophisticated sonar system that allows them to fly in complete darkness, and the most fascinating fact of all: bats are the most long-lived mammal of all the other mammals with the same body size as a bat. They reach a lifespan of 9 times longer than other mammals, which stimulates science to study the gene responsible for this surprising lifetime, hoping to find the answer to the solution of aging disease in humans.
