Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that most bat species feed primarily on the blood of other animals?

No. Multiple reference and review sources state that only three bat species feed on blood, while most bats are insect eaters or fruit eaters, contradicting the claim that most bat species feed primarily on blood.
