Description - Walker's Bats of the World by Ronald M. Nowak
From the African long-tongued fruit bat to the wrinkle-faced bat of Mexico and Central America, "Walker's Bats of the World" is a guide to this beneficial and varied order of mammals. It includes scientific and common names, as well as the number and distribution of species, measurements and physical traits, habitat, daily and seasonal activity, population dynamics, home range, social life, reproduction and longevity. Textual summaries represent accurate, well-documented descriptions of the physical characteristics and living habits of bats in every part of the world. Endangered species and those having singular economic importance are given particular attention. Illustrated with pictures by noted wildlife photographers, the book includes photographs of many rarely seen bats. As in the complete "Walker's Mammals", most photographic illustrations depict live animals rather than skins or skeletons. Since publication of the first edition in 1964, "Walker's Mammals of the World" has become a useful guide to the natural world for general readers and a reference for professionals. Now "Walker's Bats" makes a significant portion of that work accessible to a new audience.
