Baby bats babble, much like human infants.
When Ahana Fernandez and her colleagues trek through the rainforests of Central America, they keep their ears tuned for an unusual sound: high-pitched, repetitive chirping and squeaking. The noises come from greater sac-winged bat pups . Though they sound nothing like the babbling of human babies, the animal behavior researcher and her colleagues at the Museum of Natural History in Berlin suspected the two might have something in common.
It’s “beautiful work,” says Clara Levelt, a developmental linguist at Leiden University who was not involved with the study. “It will form the basis for a lot of new research.”
