The Secret Language of Bats, revealed for the first time.

Bat Talk unveils the social interaction of Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) for the first time in history. Watch and listen to these tiny, secretive creatures “talk” as they scurry, hop, shuffle, cuddle and play with one another. Laugh at males vying for female attention and witness a mothers gentle interactions with her baby. Vocalizations were recorded with a time expansion digitizer by Teh-Sheng Ma from George Pollak’s Bat Lab at the University of Texas Institute of Neuroscience in Austin. The behaviors associated with these vocalizations were filmed by Barbara French and Amanda Lollar, who have identified more that 20 bat calls in their non-releasable captive bat colonies over the past 10 years.
