Scattered over this are hills ori- ginally covered in woodland, which graduate to wooded savanna over much of the country with areas of grass- land, and of dry bush along the Kenya border. Ecolo- gists disagree somewhat in detailing the classification, but the version shown here (Fig. 1) is a reasonable com- promise. Remains of once extensive evergreen rain- forests and deciduous woodland are only now afforded a measure of ofFicial (often ineffective) protection. Various habitats are the first choices of different small mammals and the degree to which they can stray beyond them varies enormously (Fig. 2). Obviously bats generally have a mobility not available to small ground species, and still less to specialized burrow- ing animals. Some versatile species occur widely and thrive in the fields, houses, water conduits etc.; they may ruin cultivated crops, or they may reduce pest insects or pest rodents, but are themselves sometimes 10.
