5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide of the basics for anyone interested in bats!, March 11, 1999
By A Customer
There is a lot of good information packed in this little book! As well as covering different bat species, this book also explains how important bats are to the ecology of our earth. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but missing some elements., July 13, 2009
By Poleaxe "T.D." (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bats of the World (Paperback)
I've been interested in bats for a long time now. I actually raise them and have a decent sized population of them living in a reserve on my property. I'm by no means an "expert" on all bats, but I do know a thing or two about them that was NOT included in this book. And my biggest concern revolves around the fat gram count in the average bat-head. Back in the 70's and early 80's I was a roadie for Ozzy Osbourne whenever he would tour. I'd see Ozzy pop the head off several bats per show and the thought never occured to the rest of us, who quickly took up the bat-head eating habit, exactly how many fat grams where in these things. Oz really started to bloat up after a couple of years and I found my own leather pants starting to tighten up after a really big bat-head binge weekend. If we only knew the calories we were taking in on some of those bus trips, throwing back a hundred bat-heads a stop. Don't get me wrong, everyone knows they are delicious, but they can be addictive. Ozzy would have us stop all the time to find caves and score some bat for him. Eventually we all got smarter and realized we were becoming fat slobs and developing huge "bat bellies". To this day, I still eat bat heads a couple times a week, but with excercise and some restraint its fairly healthy. But I've yet to find out the fat grams in a bat-head and was hoping this book would provide that information. On the plus side it is fairly well illustrated with a nice thorough bibliography.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Little Bat Primer, February 3, 2009
This review is from: Bats of the World (Paperback)
This is a great basic primer for kids or anyone looking for a simple overview of bats. It isn't really a field guide, just a survey. A much heavier scientific level of bat lore would be satisfied by Bats: Biology and Behaviour.
