Bats: importance of bats in our ecosystem

摘要

As a child, Batman was a household name. Saturday morning's ritual featured gluing ourselves to the TV, watching Adam West, as the caped crusader, 'kaboom' and 'kerpow' Gotham City to safety. But, West's on-screen prowess and goodness certainly did nothing for the reputation of the common bat that swooped and swirled around our moonlit skies in south Tipperary! My mother feared them - mostly that they would stick in her hair. Twilight strolls were comical, at times, as she ducked and stooped out of the way of these fearsome hair-hunting creatures.
