Description

A marvelously illustrated look at bats from around the world

The only mammals capable of flight, bats are found on every major continent on the planet. They perform crucial roles in the ecosystems they inhabit, from consuming insect pests over agricultural crops and forests to pollinating night-flowering plants, dispersing seeds in tropical biomes, and recycling nutrients and creating natural fertilizer. Many of the world's 1,400 species are threatened or endangered due to habitat destruction, climate change, and persecution arising from harmful myths. This beautifully illustrated guide demystifies these fascinating creatures, blending the latest science with fact-filled profiles of representative species, from the tiny bumblebee bat to the imposing giant golden crowned flying fox. A must for bat lovers everywhere, Bats of the World showcases the extraordinary diversity of this incredible group of animals.
