The Swiss canton of Fribourg has 22 species of bats: amongst others pipistrelle bats, long-eared bats (genus Plecotus), and barbastelle bats (known as ratoluva in the local patois dialect). What do they look like? What is their secret to finding their way in the dark? Where do they spend their days? Why are they hiding in the depths of the caves?
For the first time, this book summarizes the knowledge gained from 30 years of observations and research on the bats of the canton of Fribourg with:
- Detailed monographs for each of the species of bats recorded
- A presentation of the hide-outs, the hunting grounds but also the threats that hover over the bats

All this hitherto unpublished data make this work an excellent introduction for everyone curious about bats, and makes it an indispensable tool for naturalists.
