Heir diversity is reflected in their diets: some eat fruit, some nectar and pollen, other fish, birds, frogs, or other bats. Although most eat insects, it is the three species of blood-feeding vampires which receive most public attention and around which much myth and superstition (and misconception) have evolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to their diet and habit, Fenton discusses their remarkable sonar sight, their reproduction, migration, patterns of behavior - from hunting to mating - parasites, enemies, and life span. (The current record is held by an Ontario Little Brown Bat which in 1980 had survived more than 30 years.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMan's attitude toward bats, his destruction of their habitats, and his use of pesticides have contributed to a sharp decline in the bat population in many parts of the world. Many biologists are becoming increasingly concerned about the survival of some species, but maintaining their numbers requires a change in people's attitudes. \u003cem\u003eJust Bats\u003c\/em\u003e will help. It will also tell the reader how to evict bats from his attic - provided he knows how they got in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eM.
