Fasinating creatures, I'd like to learn more too. I find fruit bats and the adorable little Honduran White Bats the most appealing.
A good place to start is Wikipedia, it has a very informative entry here. Anybody got any great Bat sites they want to post links to here?

Sydney!
My husband and I, have just returned from 5 weeks holiday in Thailand, New Zealand and Australia. One of our abiding memories will be seeing the nightly flight of thousands of flying-fox bats leaving the botanical gardens in Sydney. They travel in a fairly small corridor, some just about 20 feet above your head. As they are so big (almost the same size as a crow) it is a sight you could not miss. Wonderful to witness - even if they are seen as a pest by some! Visit Botanic Gardens Trust - Flying foxes for more info.

Brilliant. The web page is interesting especially for showing the conflicts that can occur in urban areas - how to allow both bats and plants to survive!
Thanks, Paul
I bet you've got a lot more interesting reminiscences of your tour!
