Tony Hutson illuminates the nocturnal world of bats and examines
how they have adapted to habitats in every corner of the world.
Beginning with the fossil record and what it reveals about their
relationship to other mammals, Hutson discusses their unique
aerodynamics and their extraordinary feats of echolocation. He
discusses their life cycle, diet and foraging strategy, breeding,
roosting, and migration patterns as well as their predators,
parasites, and man-made threats to their ecosystem. Bats are
long-lived mammals which can form enormous colonies containing tens
of millions of creatures, a concentration of mammals paralleled
only by human cities. Topically, the book looks at the viruses
harboured and tolerated by bats and their impact on humans. The
book also contains an appendix of bat families and subfamilies and
gives details of the number of genera or species, distribution,
size, roost habitat and diet.
