Bats

by Akiko Ayai

supervised by Dai Fukui

Bats, the world’s only flying mammals, are incredible! They even live in our cities, but how much do you really know about them? This carefully researched picture book introduces the reader to the life and ecology of the common pipistrelle, an urban bat: where they find food, the ultrasound they use to communicate with each other, and how they use something called “torpor” to get through the long winters.
