Here's What Bat Echolocation Sounds Like, Slowed Down

Description

Bats use a perceptual system called echolocation that allows them to produce high pitch sounds that bounce off nearby objects and living things. Humans can't normally hear these sounds, unless they're slowed down. From: DAVID ATTENBOROUGH'S CONQUEST OF THE SKIES: Triumph http://bit.ly/1UO4Kai
