Bats also develop their own language form

Australian scientists believe that not only humans have different voices but bat species also develop different forms of language, depending on their habitat.

This feature will help people identify and protect different bat species.

Biologist Brad Law, of the Forest Science Center, discovered that bats living in forests along the East Coast of New South Wales have different sounds.

Law has long suspected scientists that bats use regional cries to distinguish territory. This has been proven in some other animals, but this is the first time scientists have demonstrated 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 living along this coast, estimating the number and protect them.

Biologists have collected 4,000 cries of bats and used a special software program to develop bats that recognize the cries 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 wave will hit the object and bounce, helping the bat to detect obstacles or prey.

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