Description
Through a whole year we follow a brown long-eared bat, a charming and beautiful little creature, and its ups and downs, dangers and joys as it leads a nocturnal life and spends the day sleeping in a church tower. This bat’s long ears and big brown eyes set it apart from other Norwegian species, but even so it offers us insights that are relevant for a genus that exists in huge numbers all over the world and about which we have surprisingly little knowledge. Lise Myhre’s illustrations give us a greatly enhanced experience of the brown long-eared bat’s exciting life.
