Is That So? 9y EUGENE BURNS Raager-N atm Falist Amman We were on our way down into the Jordan Valley at sunset when I saw what looked like a column of smoke coming out of a cave near the valley's rim. But it wasn't smoke, as we soon could tell when the col umn heeled over toward us. It was an army of bats, head ing for the Jordan river bot tom and the insects they r-9-f9 JtTHAT So would find there. A phenom enon such as many of us have witnessed at home, most dra matically perhaps in New Mexico. 1 As they passed above us, 100 feet or so, making a squeaking, twittering sound, I could see they were small one, much like those so often seen in the states. I said so, and one of the men quickly assured me that we might soon see some much bigger bnes. We did. When it was almost dark we arrived at a clearing in the river bottom where there were some fruit trees and berry bushes. As we stood there, bats came flying in, big fellows that looked a good two feet from tip to tip. And the noise they made as they settled on the bushes to gorge themselves on the fruit must have been audible for 100 yards. Fruit Feeder Next day I was shown one of the bats., It was what is known as the dog-faced kind, a typical fruit feeder found in Egypt and the warmer, fruit growing areas of the Near and Middle East. His plump body was about ten inches long, and though he looked about as uninviting as any bat I've ever seen, I couldn't help feeling that considering its diet it ought to be good eating. That was the reason he had been killed One of the Jordanians had learned that many Africans eat fruit bats so regularly that in certain areas they are marketed both alive and cooked. I didn't try one, but in stop ping at the trees later in the morning it was evident there were yet others who liked fruit bats, too. In a nearby tree sat a big owl, busily eating the last of one of the bats. On the ground beneath were the wings of a couple of others, their bodies missing in such a way that It was all too obvious that they also had fallen victim to the predator bird.
