Shy and solitary, the Hawaiian hoary bat is so rare that most
people have never seen one. But if you are in the right place (the
edge of a forest) at the right time (around sunset), you may be
lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one heading out to hunt for
beetles and moths, its favorite foods. These and other fascinating
details about the Islands' only native land mammal and bats in
general can be found in this book. For example, did you know that:
One fourth of all mammal species are bats; The phrase ""blind as a
bat"" is inaccurate because bats have very good eyesight; Thanks to
a special muscle reflex in their legs and feet, bats can hang
upside down safely even when asleep; Far from being the frightening
creatures of myth and legend, bats actually help humans by
scattering seeds and pollen and eating insect pests. The more we
know about this mysterious and misunderstood animal, the greater
our chances of protecting it and its fragile habitat.
