Bat planet : the mysterious life of the creatures of the night / Neil Griffin.

Summary:

It's a bat planet--we're just living on it. Bats have existed with humans for hundreds of thousands of years. They live on every continent except Antarctica. Some are as small as a bumblebee and others have wingspans that could envelop an adult human. They eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes an hour, making our summertime camping trips more bearable. But today almost 25 percent of bat species are at risk of extinction. Learn about bat habitats, biology, threats to their survival and how you can help one of the most widespread, diverse and fascinating groups of animals on Earth.
