In this illuminating introduction to the world of bats, Tony Hutson
reveals the secrets of these extraordinary creatures. Beginning
with their anatomy, Hutson explores how bats' unique
characteristics have enabled them to evolve to fill a wide variety
of habitats and niches. He examines their different life cycles,
dietary strategies, migration patterns, and unique feats of
echolocation. And he also discusses their predators, parasites, the
man-made threats to their ecosystem, and how the viruses harbored
by bats can have an impact on humans. Bats also features an
appendix of bat families that details the number of genera and
species and their distribution and diet.
