This young Red Tailed Hawk has been learning to hunt in our local park. Beside squirrels, mice, rats, rabbits, and the occasional cat, they also eat a kind of mammal that few other creatures eat. What unusual mammal do these hawks eat?
Answer:
Bats! You might think that owls would be more of a threat to bats, but Red Tailed Hawks, hunting at dusk and dawn, are major predators of bats, while owls take relatively few.
