Über diesen Titel
A lifetime of adventures with bats around the world reveals why these special and imperiled creatures should be protected rather than feared.
From menacing moonshiners and armed bandits to charging elephants and man-eating tigers, Merlin Tuttle has stopped at nothing to find and protect bats on every continent they inhabit. Enamored of bats ever since discovering a colony in a cave as a boy, Tuttle saw how effective photography could be in persuading people not to fear bats, and he has spent his career traveling the world to document them.
Tuttle shares research showing that frog-eating bats can identify frogs by their calls, that vampire bats have a social order similar to that of primates, and that bats have remarkable memories. Bats also provide enormous benefits by eating crop pests, pollinating plants, and carrying seeds needed for reforestation. They save farmers billions of dollars annually and are essential to a healthy planet.
Sharing highlights from a lifetime of adventure and discovery, Tuttle takes us to the frontiers of bat research and conservation and forever changes the way we see these poorly understood yet fascinating creatures.

A thrilling series of batty adventures
I was already excited to soon start my own research with bats, but this book has fired me up for bats worldwide. The reading was beautiful and I was literally on the edge of my seat during many stories in which Merlin Tuttle almost died for his passionate field research, photography, and conservation efforts. I, born in the 90s had beautiful pictures of bats in National Geographic to look at growing up, peaking only curiosity and interest rather than fear. Only now do I realize I can attribute that to a select but growing group, who have bravely and kindly combated misinformation around them. This book is as informative about the importance and neighborliness of many bat species as it is inspirational to current and future scientists and hobbyists. Thank you
