A lifetime of adventures with bats around the world reveals why these special and imperiled creatures should be protected rather than feared.

From menacing moonshiners and armed bandits to charging elephants and man-eating tigers, Merlin Tuttle has stopped at nothing to find and protect bats on every continent they inhabit. Enamored of bats ever since discovering a colony in a cave as a boy, Tuttle saw how effective photography could be in persuading people not to fear bats, and he has spent his career traveling the world to document them.

Tuttle shares research showing that frog-eating bats can identify frogs by their calls, that vampire bats have a social order similar to that of primates, and that bats have remarkable memories. Bats also provide enormous benefits by eating crop pests, pollinating plants, and carrying seeds needed for reforestation. They save farmers billions of dollars annually and are essential to a healthy planet.

Sharing highlights from a lifetime of adventure and discovery, Tuttle takes us to the frontiers of bat research and conservation and forever changes the way we see these poorly understood yet fascinating creatures.

This well-written book contains tons of information about bats, the benefits they provide to the environment and crops (pollination), and how different species live. The story also dispels lot of common myths. I also admire the author's ability to point out his own errors and how he learned from them.

the narrator was great in the beginning, but in the last few chapters he read more slowly and with less enthusiasm and energy.

Great Information.

My only lament is some of the dated and culturally insensitive language written from a white male perspective that creeps in at times. Likely just showing it’s age.

Great book! Great work to help bars

Loved it, got online to see the pictures and they’re phenomenal. Apparently I need more words so here they are.

Fascinating!

Highly recommend this book. Dr. Merlin Tuttle relives his 60 or so years of studying and advocating for bats. Highly entertaining and stories that rival some Indiana Jones tales. I have bought three paperback copies for my classroom. Wish he would publish more.

Dr. Tuttle’s adventures saving bats is amazing!

The author is not only a bat expert. He is also a master storyteller. He has an impressive treasure trove of experiences to draw from. His life would still be amazing if he had done half the things he relates in this book. The narration is lively and engaging. You gotta listen to this book.

Bats Are Fascinating!

The reading is outstanding, and so much great information is provided. If you are into nature photography, or spelunking, you will love this as well! Bats are one of our most overlooked and under appreciated species, and this book will teach even the most critical sceptic of bats how important they are, and why the need our support and protection. I’m glad I added my fifth bat house to my property this year. Hopefully this helps! Thank you, Mr. Tuttle for all you have done!

An amazing account of bats from one of the world’s leading bat researchers

most bats really do get a bad rap. After listening to Merlin talk about all things bats I dont think there's reason to worry. Among other benefits they contribute significantly to pest control and pollination for food crops that we depend on. more people should know the truth about bats.

I'm bats about Bats now.

I’ve loved bats for so long and been so interested in them. I have several bat houses in VA and love watching them fly around us at the pool. I’ve been a long time supporter of bat conservation international and have been delighted to hear about the substantial impact they have made around the world. Such a great listen and wonderfully narrated.

SO FANTASTIC

I'm a pretty wet behind the ears bat biologist and this book was an amazing resource on top of being incredibly entertaining. I found myself getting upset with texts and my GPS when it would interrupt a chapter. Anyone even remotely interested in nature should give this book a chance.

From a Current Bat Biologist: Amazing
