Ok, maybe not the vampire bat…but some of the more “cuddly” species are actually quite easy to see. That’s quite the list of charismatic and unique wildlife to add to your potential list of sightings. Expect to see Giant Anteaters at any of the fantastic lodges in the Rupununi savannahs like the Waikin and Wichibai ranches.

There were opportunities to go to far flung places like the islands of the Pacific or the coast of Canada or the Yorkshire Dales… Anyway, as I was obsessed by Africa at the time, I leapt at the opportunity to go to Namibia to collect samples of bat DNA for a biogeography project. I think we caught perhaps three bats.

Bat Falcon. Dressed to kill, the deadly Bat Falcon eats more than bats. Brilliant little birds, it’s a good thing they are tiny because if they were any bigger and more organized, hummingbirds would undoubtedly conquer the world. Not convinced? Just spend a good half hour watching hummingbirds feed in the same area.

A bat flew over my house a few days ago. That sentence may sound like the beginning of a horror story, but this bat bade well, serving as a reminder to those of us in the frosty north that winter eventually ends. Another sure sign of spring turned up just the next morning in the form of two Common Grackles stalking my lawn.

As Kaufman shows, however, to birds and bats, they can be death machines.
