Horseshoe Bats Refine Echolocation Skills to Track Prey

Various bat species utilize echolocation to navigate their surroundings, identify fluttering insects, and successfully capture them. A recent study has focused on the greater horseshoe bats in their natural habitat, revealing intriguing aspects of this behavior. An international research team, featuring scientists from the University of Tübingen, took an innovative approach by using GPS tracking tags equipped with microphones to closely monitor these bats in action.
