SUMMARY:Naturalist’s Book Club: The Secret Life of Bats
DESCRIPTION:Befitting the spookiest season\, we will discuss The Secret Lives of Bats. Renowned bat expert and photographer Merlin Tuttle first became fascinated with bats as a teenager. Since then\, he has been a key force in changing the way the world perceives bats. Dr. Tuttle\, whose PhD research focused on population ecology of the gray bat\, has studied and photographed hundreds of bat species on every continent. He is comfortable crawling deep into caves\, lugging equipment through tropical jungles\, or standing on a stage introducing the world to these amazing creatures of the night. \nFrom the publisher’s website: “Few people realize how sophisticated and intelligent bats are. Merlin Tuttle knows\, and he has stopped at nothing to find and protect them on every continent they inhabit. Sharing highlights from a lifetime of adventure and discovery\, Tuttle takes us to the frontiers of bat research to show that frog-eating bats can identify frogs by their calls\, that some bats have social sophistication similar to that of higher 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. Tuttle’s account forever changes the way we see these poorly understood yet fascinating creatures.” \nDate: Sunday\, November 2\nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.\nLocation: online meeting; details emailed with registration confirmation\nCost: free to FOCC members; $5 donation appreciated for non-members\nAges: 12 and older \nRESERVER NOW
