National Park of American Samoa - The Manu'a Islands
The Manu'a Island group includes the volcanic islands of Ofu and Olosega (joined by a bridge), and Ta'u. These islands lie 60 miles east (a 30-minute flight on a small plane) from Tutuila; flights are available between Ofu and Ta'u. These islands are sparsely populated - each village has only a few hundred people. ... The park area includes the southeastern half of Ta'u. Stay overnight in the village of Fitiuta on the northeast coast or in Faleasao or Ta'u in the northwest. You can rent cars locally. Visit Saua, a sacred site considered by many to be the birthplace of the Polynesian people. Hike along the beaches on a plantation road southward from Fitiuta. If you hike in remote areas, go with a guide. Park staff may be able to arrange a guide service. Watch the sky for flying foxes , particularly at dusk and dawn. The south shore has sea cliffs over 2,000 feet high, quite imposing for humans, but seabirds find safe roosts there. ... [Read More]

The Sheath-tailed Bat ( Emballonura semicaudata ) also feeds on mosquitos and other flying insects. But unlike the swift, this small bat does not seem to accept sheltered cliffs as roosting or breeding areas, inhabiting only deep and protected caves. There are few such caves in American Samoa, and therefore few good homes for the bat. Ever since Hurricane Ofa in 1990, the known bat caves on Tutuila have been almost deserted. Hurricanes Ofa and Val swept water and debris into several caves, and the days of strong hurricane winds may have made it impossible for the bats to find food. Unless more bats survive in caves that we don't know about, the long-term survival of this useful and fascinating animal in American Samoa is doubtful. There is little we can do to help the bat except to stay away from their caves to avoid disturbing the few surviving animals. Sadly, the Sheath-tailed Bat seems to be endangered throughout most of its range, including in western Samoa and the Marianas, as wel ... [Read More]

The care and energy that both bat species put into their young is remarkable. Pregnancy lasts approximately 5 months in both species, and once the young are born, it takes at least another 3 months before they are weaned. Even after they are capable of flight, the young continue to receive parental care, perhaps until they reach adult size or become reproductively active themselves. We know this from observations of pairs of individuals seen to alight independently on the same tree and subsequently come together with one individual (presumably the juvenile) being wrapped up in the other's wings as they settle down to roost. Sightings of pregnant females and individuals carrying young in flight indicate that pe'a vao give birth mostly between April and June. Pe'a fanua births appear to occur year-round but are more common in January and June to August. ... [Read More]

Samoa MARINE & WILDLIFE TOPICS
During the northern summer, all three tuli nest in Alaska and northern Canada. The plover and the turnstone nest in the tundra, where their neighbors are caribou and grizzly bears. The tattlers nest by icy mountain streams, sharing their world with mountain sheep and golden eagles. But when the northern days grow shorter and colder, the birds probably begin to dream of the beaches and reefs of Polynesia, for they set out on one of the greatest of all animal journeys. From gathering places on the coasts of Alaska, the tuli take off to fly non-stop over 3,000 miles of open ocean to the Hawaiian Islands. These birds cannot land on the water and take a rest -- their feathers are not waterproof, so if they land in the water, they drown. Not only is this flight an amazing physical feat, but it requires tremendous navigational abilities to find tiny specks of land lost in the featureless sea. After a well-earned rest in Hawaii, the tuli take off again for another flight over thousands o ... [Read More]
