But 25 species, I had no idea. Didn’t know there were so many bat species either although did know there were several.

I like to think myself fairly well versed about critters, but looks like I ain’t as good as I think I am.

And I think I read somewhere that we have over 100 species of bats…

Glenda” Being something of a dummy, it never occurred to me there were different looking squirrels in different parts of the world. I thought red and grey (the blacks are apparently really grey ones) and that was it.

I didn’t realise this had happened in Oz Glenda, nor did I realise you had “apologised” for it on behalf of your country. However, Oz was not the first and probably not the last. Look at the thousands of Greek kids who were shipped (stolen) into Albania at the end of the second world war. The Greeks still bear a lot of resentment about this whole episode.
