Re:A vampire bat

Dear Cafemia,

HAHAHA. So funny!
Thanks a lot for the story, Cafemia.

But I, as a biologist, would like to change a word in that story. That is, from "Now, do you see that tree over there?" to " Now, do you hear that tree over there?" As you may know already, bats, like dolphins and moths, locate things and their preys by so-called echo-location. They generate ultrasound and hear the reflection of the sound from the objects to locate and discriminate things in the dark of the night.

Have a great day, Cafemia.

<p>A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh

blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some

sleep. Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began

hassling him about where he got it. He told them to knock it off and

let him get some sleep but they persisted until finally he gave in. <br>

<br>

&quot;Okay, follow me,&quot; he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds

of bats behind him. Down through a valley they went, across a river

and into a forest full of trees. Finally he slowed down and all the

other bats excitedly milled around him. &quot;Now, do you see that tree

over there?&quot; he asked. <br>

<br>

&quot;Yes, yes, yes!&quot; the bats all screamed in a frenzy. <br>

<br>

&quot;Good,&quot; said the first bat, &quot;Because I DIDN'T!&quot; <br>
