Raised above the sea by volcanic action, the Hawaiian islands are home to a fascinating array of animals. Because the Hawaiian islands are so isolated many of its native animals have developed unusual adaptations that help them survive. Hawai'i's habitats are fragile, however, and many of its native species are in danger of becoming extinct. Only through education and thoughtful conservation can we prevent the disappearance of any more of Hawai'i's unique animals.

Fascinating details about the Hawaiian hoary bat, Hawaii's only native land mammal, and bats in general can be found in this book. For example, did you know that: The phrase ""blind as a bat"" is inaccurate because bats have very good eyesight.
