BAT SENSE - by Nature Video

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.

I love to see flight in slow motion. The flight of any animal, insect or water falling for that matter. Slow motion or UltraSlo motion gives you incredible insight of movement. There are some nice shots in this clip.
