Re: [Texascavers] flying or echolocation

I am not sure what Quinta was referring to.

As I understand it, they set every bat free into the wild.

Sounds like a group of cavers working in desquise.

Maybe we could get them to stock some caves.

We have fisheries - why not bat coloneries.

There is a sandstone cave in east Texas that would
be a great place to set up a new bat colony.

[Texascavers] flying or echolocation

2008-02-13 Thread Mixon Bill
That's interesting. I wouldn't have thought there was any controversy,  
and said it was pretty obvious that bats flew before the echolocated.  
Echolocation would be of limited use if you weren't flying, and anyway  
a major subdivision of bats, the megabats (family Pteropodidae, flying  
foxes) don't echolocate, although they fly. I guess that just shows  
how little I know (or how desperate specialists are for controversies  
to write papers about). -- Mixon
