Is That So?

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.
