Bat named ‘Bird of the Year 2021’ in controversial decision
Bat named ‘Bird of the Year 2021’ in controversial decision Nov 1, 2021 The bat is getting its due — at the expense of birds. New Zealand has named the bat their “Bird of the Year,” despite the now-controversial fact that bats are not of the avian family. Bats are regarded as New Zealand’s only native land mammal, and under threat of extinction — as well as public scrutiny as of late due to its potential link to the initial coronavirus outbreak in 2020. It’s the first time a non-bird has been honored with the award, angering some birders who claim the mammalian animal stole the election from the rightful Aves class. https://nypost.com/2021/11/01/bat-na...sial-decision/ |
