Bats of the Rocky Mountain West

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 most enigmatic mammals in the world. This notably updated second edition further brings to life the wonderful world of bats with beautiful illustrations and photography that grips the imagination and reveals 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 that eclipses the fabled tales of the crypt and macabre.
