Dr. Merlin Tuttle and his colleagues at Bat Conservation International
aren't scared of bats. These bat crusaders are fascinated by them, with
good reason. Bats fly the night skies in nearly every part of the world,
but they are the least studied of all mammals. As the major predator of
night-flying insects, bats eat many pests. Unfortunately bats are facing
many problems, including a terrifying new disease. White-nose Syndrome
is infecting and killing millions of hibernating bats in North America.
But Dr. Tuttle, with the help of his fellow bat scientists are in the
trenches--and caves--on the front line of the fight to save their
beloved bats.
