| What has fangs, drinks blood and comes out only at night? No, not Dracula... vampire bats. In this Halloween edition of Science Friday, we'll talk with Bill Schutt, the author of a new book called "Dark Banquet: Blood and the Curious Lives of Blood-Feeding Creatures." From vampire bats to bedbugs -- we'll get a bite of bloodthirsty science. |
