Yes, vampire bats do bite humans to feed on blood, but these incidents are rare. Vampire bats primarily feed on the blood of other animals, such as livestock. In the rare cases where they do bite humans, it is usually when the bat is unable to find its preferred food source.
Quokkas do not bite people or other animals. They use their teeth to bite the vegetation on which they feed.
No, head lice do not bite. They feed on blood by piercing the skin with their mouthparts, but since they do not have teeth, they do not technically bite.
Leeches have specialized jaws that they use to bite into a host's skin. They secrete anesthetic and anticoagulant substances into the wound, making the blood flow easier, while their saliva helps to prevent the host's blood from clotting, allowing the leech to feed on a blood meal.
yes they do bite , if irratated , or if they can smell food on ur hands an mistake it for food , i have a micro pig and the bite does hurt and draws blood
Mosquitos have a special enzyme in their saliva that prevents blood clotting. This allows them to suck the blood without stopping the flow. It is this that makes the mosquito bite itch.

Yes. Actually, only the female mosquito will bite you. The female will land on your skin, stick her proboscis into you, and then suck your blood into her abdomen. Her saliva contains proteins that prevent your blood from clotting and leave behind an itchy, reddish pink, bump.
Leeches drink human blood by attaching themselves to the skin of their host and using their jaw and saliva to create a wound from which they can feed. They release an anticoagulant in their saliva to prevent the blood from clotting, allowing them to feed more easily.

There are three main classes of leeches: Gnatbobdellida, or jawed leeches, use teeth to bite the host, and secrete hirudin, which prevents the blood from clotting. Rhyncobdellida, or jawless leeches, insert a needle-like protrusion called a proboscis into the host. They also secrete an enzyme called hemetin, which dissolves blood clots. Pharyngobdellida have no jaws or teeth, instead swallowing their prey whole. They feed mainly on small invertebrates.
When a mosquito bites you, it injects proteins that inhibit your blood from clotting in the vicinity of the bite. It can then more easily withdraw blood. Some mosquitoes carry one or more infectious biological organisms, and they can inject you with them when they bite you. Malaria is probably the best known of the examples, and there are others like West Nile virus.
