Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "[A] wonderful book." --Nature "A mind-opening adventure." --Natural HistoryAn awe-inspiring tour of bat world by the world's leading expert With nearly 1500 species, bats account for more than twenty percent of mammalian species. The most successful and most diverse group of mammals, bats come in different sizes, shapes, and colors, from the tiny bumblebee bat to the giant golden-crowned flying fox. Some bats eat fruit and nectar; others eat frogs, scorpions, or fish. Vampire bats feed on blood. Bats are the only mammals that can fly; their fingers have elongated through evolution to become wings with a unique, super-flexible skin membrane stretched between them. Their robust immune system is one of the reasons for their extreme longevity. A tiny bat can live for forty years. Yossi Yovel, an ecologist and a neurobiologist, is passionate about deciphering the secrets of bats, including using AI to decipher their communication. In The Genius Bat, he brings to vivid life these amazing creatures as well as the obsessive and sometimes eccentric people who study them-bat scientists. From muddy rainforests to star-covered night deserts, from guest houses in Thailand to museum drawers full of fossils in New York, this is an eye-opening and entertaining account of a mighty mammal.

Step into the shadows and listenUsually, youll hear a bat before you see it the gentle flutter of wings, their high-pitched chatter as they dive and roll for insects. Only occasionally do you spot them, a blur against the evening sky, quickly fading into the dark. Despite their elusiveness, bats are some of the most successful animals on Earth with nearly 1,500 known species.

And, while the notorious vampire bat feasts on blood, others are vegetarian, subsisting on fruit and nectar, pollinating vital crops mangoes, bananas, guavas in the process. Most remarkably, they are the only mammal that can fly.Yossi Yovel, an ecologist and a neurobiologist, has spent his life trekking through muddy rainforests and camping in star-covered deserts in pursuit of bats secrets.
