Bats are one of the most misunderstood creatures in the animal kingdom. Persecuted because of their - poor image-a result of the spreading of misconceptions and myths fanned by the public's ignorance- bats have been shown to be intelligent, clean, gentle and likeable by emerging scientific evidence.
There are two distinct lineages in the bats' evolution history: the megachiropterans and the microchiropterans. The former, more commonly known as flying foxes, are usually larger, feed exclusively on fruit and nectar, and dwell in huge tree colonies; while the latter, comprising about 760 species, are mostly insectivorous. However, scientists have yet to agree on the ancestry of the bats as one camp argues that both lineages share a common ancestor, whereas another believes they evolved separately.
Like many other unfortunate animals, many bat species are facing the threat of extinction because of human short-sightedness. Fearing bats for all ignorant reasons, people have chosen to eliminate these unwanted pests', without fully understanding that bats play a key role in many of the world's ecosystems. Subsequently, bat populations everywhere have been declining rapidly. For example, the population at Eagle Creek Cave, Arizona, has decreased by 99.9 per cent from 30 million to 30,000 since the 1960s! While some people target only a species they identify as pests, such as the vampire bats Latin nerica, they often end up destroying many other species indiscriminately.
