What does the bat say? Most bats live in colonies and many of them have incredibly complex social lives for which good communication is necessary. Scientists believe many species can sing; some can recognize each other’s voices; they have dialects; they can alert others to dangers; and they form intense bonds with their young. The bat shown here resides at the Lubee Bat Conservancy, a non-profit dedicated to saving bats and their habitats through conservation, education, and community engagement
