In this fascinating biology of and guidebook to the bat species inhabiting the Rocky Mountain West, author Rick A. Adams exposes the true nature of bats and the roles these fascinating animals play in the natural history and ecology of the region.
In the twenty years since the original publication of Bats of the Rocky Mountain West, chiropterology (bat science) has exploded, significantly altering our understanding of the ecology, behavior, distribution, and conservation of one of the world's most enigmatic mammals. This notably updated second edition further brings to life the wonderful world of bats with beautiful illustrations and photography that grip the imagination and reveal the magnificent natural history of the only true flying mammal. In addition, thirty-two accounts of regional species with photographs, range maps, and echolocation sonograms report informative and thoroughly revised findings on bats now living in the Rocky Mountain West. Leave any preconceived notions behind and learn the real-life biology of bats, which eclipses the fabled tales of the crypt and macabre.
