An awe-inspiring tour of bat world by the world’s leading expert…

An awe-inspiring tour of the bat world, written by a leading expert.

With nearly 1,500 species, bats form more than twenty percent of all mammalian species.

From the tiny bumblebee bat to the giant golden-crowned flying fox, bats occupy an astonishing range of sizes, shapes, and habitats.

Yovel takes readers from muddy rain-forests to star-covered night deserts — from tree-hollow roosts to museum fossil drawers — revealing how bats fly, communicate, hunt, socialize, and even share food.

Interwoven with the natural history is a compelling look at the scientists who dedicate their lives to studying these mysterious mammals, making this book part nature-journal, part adventure, and part science exploration.

“Yovel’s passion and curiosity will leave readers with a greater appreciation for the wonders and mysteries of the bat world.”Publisher’s Weekly

“You will never think of bats (or zoologists) in the same way. The book is a masterpiece of story-telling.” —
Ron Milo, Weizmann Institute
