BAT SENSE - by Nature Video

Uploaded by NatureVideoChannel on Oct 29, 2010
This stunning slow motion footage shows how bats use echolocation to find water. We know how bats echolocate to hunt insects, but this is the first study to show how they recognise large, flat objects like ponds. Moreover, by testing young bats that had never encountered a pond or river before, the researchers showed that bats seem to have a built-in ability to recognize these important features of their environment.

One of them got inside my house and flew around. Luckily I managed to catch him inside a jar. But as I observed him, I felt sorry for the little bugger as he shivered and shook in the cold, so I let him go inside an abandoned house. Yeah people call them disgusting, but hey, don't blame me fore being an animal friend...

Bats are cool. I don't know why people don't like them.
