I cannot get the Hoary Bat out of my head. Hoary Bats roost in trees, not caves. So the Hoary Bat is migratory. They may gather in flocks of hundreds during their fall journey, abandoning their lonely summer habits.

There were opportunities to go to far flung places like the islands of the Pacific or the coast of Canada or the Yorkshire Dales… Anyway, as I was obsessed by Africa at the time, I leapt at the opportunity to go to Namibia to collect samples of bat DNA for a biogeography project. I think we caught perhaps three bats.

Bats just love to fly into human hair!” Had they been able to make the jawbone talk, no doubt its first words would be, “You can’t put a baby bird back in the nest, because the parents will smell your hands and abandon it.”. Porcupines throw their quills! If you see a raccoon during the day, it must have rabies!

One paper describes them breeding in a human settlement in abandoned clay jars. Presumably, the species also not only eats fruit but also mammals and possibly birds –the HBW specifically mentions the species catching bats emerging from caves at dusk, and feeding them to juveniles.

Elephants, whales, hippopotamuses, giraffes, and alligators use low-frequency sounds to communicate over long distances, often miles; and bats, dolphins, whales, frogs, and various rodents use high-frequency sounds to find food, communicate with others, and navigate.
