Abstract ABSTRACT
Persistence of wildlife in urban environments may be linked to opportunism and a high degree of ecological and behavioural plasticity public interest in bats has vastly outstripped scientific research about them, presenting interesting challenges and opportunities for bat biologists. Bats are adaptive in nature and find refuge in old ruins, temples, and abandoned buildings; these structures are also being replaced or renovated and thereby bats are losing favourable places for roosting. Bats are particularly susceptible to anthropogenic changes because of their low reproductive rate, longevity, and high metabolic rates. Bats (order Chiroptera) include more than 120 species are found in India. Extant species, forming the second largest mammalian order, and are unique among mammals in their evolution of powered flight. Bats are particularly susceptible to these human-induced perturbations of habitats because of their distinct life history. Being a passionate naturalist, citizen, explorer, adventurer and a wildlife photographer an attempt has been made to study Bats and its activities like roosting and foraging at local recreation park.
