In honor of bat week, here is a pallid bat flying in Khaleel Razak’s lab at UC Riverside. The lab studies how bat brains process auditory signals. The pallid bat is a gleaner, which means it uses its big ears to listen for insects which it picks off the ground. They can even eat scorpions and appear to be immune to their venom. When they are resting, they can fold down their ears like an accordion to minimize heat loss. #bat #batweek #UCRiverside #flight #pallidbat

Spend a night out as a bat and you'll be amazed by these critters' abilities to "see" in the dark and fly nimbly as they catch fast-flying bugs.
