List Members..... This is a great opportunity and it may not fit into all of your schedules.
There is one great video out there somewhere about these Bats. Being a very semi-expert on Poison Frogs, these Bats seem to be able or have learned? the difference between Frogs that are toxic and those that are not. I believe it also features the Professor that started Bat Conservation International in Texas? See: www.batcon.org Should you want to visit the amazing country of Panama, our Director is Guido Berguido out of Panama City. He now has property in Gamboa. I can't say enough about Guido and some of you have met him. Certainly one of the finest Naturalist Guides in Panama. Just Google Guido and you will see what I mean. I have some high-end journal articles about some of his work in Panama....Biotropica, etc. and will let you know what Science people have to say about him. My apologies for cross-posting, but this is worth it. Thank you.
