you might mistake this scene for the 21st century but look closely and you ll see some difference for example that bat has a simple rounded face while most modern bats have noses and ears specalized for #echolocation

Linking energy metabolism and echolocation: the relationship between basal metabolic rate and peak frequency in bats Echolocation is a sensory adaptation that enables bats to navigate and forage in darkness, and its energetic demands may influence their basal metabolic rate (BMR). Peak frequency is the frequency ...

#Echolocation enables remarkable feats of nocturnal foraging in bats — but how does peak echolocation frequency influence #BMR across #bat species? With help from a FoxBox #Respirometry System, scientists combined original & existing data to investigate.

A robot bat sheds new light on how they hunt in darkness ‘I’m always Team Bat. They always trick me, they always outsmart me.’

"Bats use echolocation to find their way and hunt for prey. They emit rapid clicking sounds from their mouths and listen for the echoes as those sounds bounce off nearby objects, which could include potential meals."

Can a bat catch prey on a mirror? A bat's expert foraging skills revealed using a robot Scientists built a robot to help explain how a tropical bat spots insects perched on leaves using echolocation, a highly sophisticated behavior that requires precise, split-second decision making on the part of the hunting bat.
