A robot bat sheds new light on how they hunt in darkness

Popular Science

The lesser long-nosed bat (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae) is a medium-sized bat found in Central and North America. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Biologists and engineers have joined forces to build a new robot bat that's helping us understand how bats use echolocation to hunt for food. By creating a robot that can echolocate, the team mimicked a bat's flight path and explained how bats can quickly determine whether or not their prey is on a leaf. This new bat's eye view is detailed in a study recently published in the The study was led in part by bat scientist and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute research associate Inga Geipel .



Decapitated fish fossils depict Late Jurassic food chain

Popular Science

'Aspidorhynchus' was an efficient predator-but sometimes they became the prey. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. An unusual type of fossilized fish can be found within the limestone of present-day Germany. The Late Jurassic era conditions exhibited at the famed Solnhofen deposits have preserved the remains of multiple marlin-like marine predators known as . But these carnivorous remains aren't complete specimens--they're decapitated heads still attached to gastrointestinal tracts.
