The following text is reference to question.


Bats are flying mammals. They are warm blooded creatures that hibernate in winter. Growing warmth from the sun _______ sleep in March or April. In many British gardens, they can be seen at dusk – and occasionally even in daytime – right through to October or even later. Their diet consists entirely of insects which they detect by echolocation, usually in flight. The sound waves issued through their mouths or noses help them to navigate, as well as to find food.  


Britain has 17 different species of bat. A lot of these have been recorded in gardens and several species may roost in houses. In many parts of the world, bat populations have declined dramatically. British bats are under threat and many species are now much less common than they used to be. Some species of British bat are very rare and a few species are close to extinction.  


Bats normally remain hidden during the day and their small, black droppings in your roof space often provide the only evidence of their presence. Mice droppings are hard but those of bats consist of insect skeletons and crumble to dust if rubbed between finger and thumb. All bat species and their roosts are protected by law because they are so vulnerable. British bats are quite harmless to humans and should not be disturbed.

The following text is reference to question.

‘He was not a hero’: How the dark, violent medieval origins of Robin Hood were erased

Robin Hood began as an oral tradition in the 12th Century before morphing into a heroic, family-friendly stereotype – here’s how new takes are restoring his dark side.  

When writer and director Michael Sarnoski began shooting his new film, he showed the cast and crew one he has always loved. It was Disney’s 1973 animated Robin Hood, its hero a fox with a feather in his green cap, robbing the rich to give to the poor. 

That beloved version could not be further from The Death of Robin Hood, Sarnoski’s dark, thoughtful drama. Hugh Jackman stars as a grey-haired, battle-weary Robin, reflective at the end of his life and acutely aware of his own legend.  

When he encounters a woman who talks about the virtuous, justice-seeking Robin Hood, he denies who he is and speaks of himself in the third person. “He was not a hero. He robbed and killed for the joy of it, nothing more.”
