Sounds
|
Hear what different bats sound like there are people actually studying the language of bats some vocabulary has been developed mating sounds, food sounds, and the difference in sounds that different bats make so you can identify them. Even though you may not be able to see bats in your area except for the sudden blurry darts that you know aren't birds you can tell what kind of a bats you have in your area by using a bat detector to hear their echolocations and with some software you can create sonograms a graphical representation of the sound to tell what you have in your area.

It makes you think Atlantis disappears about 5000 years ago Egyptian dynasty starts with pyramids and they like bats after Egyptian dynasty dies a few 100 years the Mayans start with pyramids who also like bats 1/2 world away it makes you think Hmmmm)
