Ruth,
If you are a health nut, you might want to rethink the bat prejudice.   Just
heard a program about certain salamanders in caves that have modified their
historic diet, becoming eaters of bat guano instead of their normal
animalistic predatory fare.   It seems that bats have a self-regulating
digestive system that only digests what they really need for nutrition and
casts out the extra.   Continuous eaters while on the fly, they consume so
many mosquitoes and other flying things that if they held all the intake in
their gut until it was digested they would become too heavy to be able to
fly.   So, they continually cast out the extra, most of it great protein,
vitamins and all the rest from the insect prey.

Yum!
