In their February 18, 2015 issue New Scientist collaborated with Merlin to publish a story on woolly bats living in pitcher plants that stated, “Contrary to common misconceptions, bats in general are gentle, highly intelligent and trainable.” On October 14, 2015 they published an extensive review of Merlin’s new book, The Secret Lives of Bats that included a strong presentation of bat values, debunked needless fears and showcased 11 portraits of cute bats.
