Amazing, fascinating, bizarre are words that barely start to describe the bats of the world. Some are big, some tiny, many eat insects and fruit, yet there are others with more unusual tastes in food - such as the fisherman bat which uses its claws to catch fish or the unjustly demonized bloodeating vampire bats. Bats will not fly into your hair, and they are not blind, but their role in pollination is crucial to the environment in which they live. Bats are full of surprises. With such a large array of species, bat expert Phil Richardson guides you through the nocturnal world of bats: where they live, how they feed, and how they survive in almost every habitat on the planet. He uses his experiences of bat watching around the world to describe their complex life cycles, and explains how you can watch and study bats and help conserve these often threatened mammals. Wherever you live, there are likely to be bats near you, so discover more about your nocturnal neighbours with the help of this highly readable and fully illustrated book.
