What do you call a baby bat?

The story behind the answer

A baby bat is called a pup because bats are mammals—they give live birth and nurse their young with milk, just like dogs and seals, whose young are also called pups. The other options fit different animals: kid (young goat), chick (baby bird), and cub (young bears and big cats).

Bats often form maternity colonies where mothers recognize their pups by unique calls and scent. Newborn pups cling to their mothers with tiny thumbs and feet and learn to fly after a few weeks. Memory tip: Bats are mammals like dogs; if a dog has a puppy (pup), a bat does too.
