Bats also develop different forms of language

Australian scientists say that not only do people have different voices but bat species also develop linguistic morphology depending on their whereabouts. This helps us identify and protect different species.

Expert Brad Law of the Forest Science Center has discovered bats living in the forest along the East Coast of New South Wales state with different voices.

He said scientists have long suspected that bats use regional cries to distinguish and this has been demonstrated in some other animals, but this is the first time scientists have witnessed it. I can explain this in bats.

According to Mr. Law, different cries of about 30 species of bats have been used to develop into a system whereby scientists can identify many bats along this coast, estimating the number and protection them.

Experts have collected 4,000 cries of bats and used an order-based software program to develop bats to recognize the sound of bats according to different areas in New South Wales.

Normally, bats use cries to find their way and hunt, in which they use a process called echolocation with a high frequency of ultrasound that the human ear cannot hear. This noise will hit the object and bounce.

However, according to experts, the development of automatic identification keys for bat cries is still in its infancy.
