  The Adventures of Simion Lonewolf - an online novel by Paul A. Hinchberger III
All megabats and some families of microbats are confined to the eastern hemisphere; other microbats are confined to the western hemisphere, and a few families are worldwide in distribution.
Nocturnality gives bats many advantages, such as greatly reduced competition for insects and other food items, substantial freedom from attack, and protection from overheating and dehydration, to which bats are especially liable because of their enormous skin area relative to their size.
Still others in both groups consume flower parts or extract the nectar from flowering plants by means of greatly elongated tongues, aiding cross-pollination of the plants in the process.

In ecclesiastical tribunals, large communities of smaller animals (rats, mice, bugs, etc.) were tried symbolically; the sentences (curses, excommunication, anathemas) were obviously designed not to penalize particular animals but to symbolically call down divine retributions upon entire classes of creatures.
