Although five species, each represented by a single specimen, may be regarded as vagrants, no other state has a bat fauna more diverse, from the state's most common species, the Brazilian free-tailed bat, to the rare hairy-legged vampire.\u003cbr\u003eThe introductory chapter of this new edition of \u003ci\u003eBats of Texas\u003c\/i\u003e surveys bats in general--their appearance, distribution, classification, evolution, biology, and life history--and discusses public health and bat conservation. An updated account for each species follows, with pictures by an outstanding nature photographer, distribution maps, and a thorough bibliography. \u003ci\u003eBats of Texas\u003c\/i\u003e also features revised and illustrated dichotomous keys accompanied by gracefully detailed line drawings to aid in identification.
