Male bats are 'sexy singers' most animal world

In order to attract female bats, male bats emit very distinct tones and quickly change the melody in a creative way so that the bat is 'enchanted' for a period of time to 'mate', according to Science Daily. .

That is the discovery of scientist Mike Smotherman and colleagues at Florida International University (USA).

Over a period of more than 3 years, the team recorded thousands of "inviting" sounds from non-Mexican male bats living around Texas (USA).

Research published on Animal Behavior shows that male bats attract females to their habitat with melodious tones. Because the bat usually stops only for a moment and then hurriedly flies away, the male bats must make full use of their singing talents to continue to "keep" their children to stay for long enough to mate.

Male bats are extremely creative when singing love songs, according to the research team.

Bats are not the only animals that use love songs to appeal to their partners in the animal world. However, most animals often use their external appearance to attract their partner's attention.

Mexican tailless bat is one of the most popular bats with a length of about 10cm and wingspan of 25 to 30cm, dark brown and round ears. They often live in the southern parts of the United States.
