Here's What Bat Echolocation Sounds Like, Slowed Down

- Bats use a perceptual system called echolocation that allows them to produce high pitch sounds that bounce off nearby objects and living things. Humans can't normally hear these sounds, unless they're slowed down.

The bugs that happened to find the cave full of bat poop: " This is some gormet sh-t "
no pun intended
The scientific word for bat poop is guano.🧠
🤔 I think you did intend that pun
Makes me wonder about the roaches and rats that live in sewers. They're literally given a conveyor belt of food and plenty of real estate.
@@kayleeescobar6828 I learned that from Ace Ventura When Nature Calls funnily enough
i like how modern technology has finally caught up to be able to provide the great David Attenborough with the tools and platform and effects and simulations etc to make everything as interesting and explained well as possible, it's like David v2.0 when you compare it to the just-raw-footage docos from the 80s. Long live the great man!
Me trying out echolocation*
"AH! AH AH! AAAAAHHH!....yep that's a wall"
i cant hear anything
I'm just playing i cant hear nthung
Try clicking your tongue, some blind people do it that way and it works, like Ben Underwood and Daniel Kish
Amazing. These are flying mammals. Think about how high their metabolism has to be to generate flight as mammals
Birds are comparable to mammals when it comes to metabolic rates being warm blooded flying creatures. If you're larger then an insect high metabolic rate is a prerequisite to keeping yourself aloft it seems.
Some bats have to and do consume 50 to 100% of their body weight in food (specialize vampire bats) in one feeding session. And some others spend nearly half of the energy acquired in one day through that same period of time. So yes, these guys just gotta keep on feeding, otherwise they may not survive after 2 days
Flying mammal that travel by sound this world crazy 🤯
That’s the face behind the legendary commentary voice
Anything he narrates, I’ll more than likely watch.
yep, that fascinating voice
@Elijah Cacopardo if you watched animal documentaries being young, you most likely heard this old man's voice. The tone of his voice, can easily be associated with knowledge, in someone's mind, if they heard it before. It sure keeps me fascinated and captivated !
Sir David Attenborough! The one and only, haha
Context!
I love this man’s voice
Clicked on video expecting bat echolocation.
First forty seconds: Cockroaches eating batsh*t
I had a bat get in my house and I could feel the sonar clicks in my teeth, I could barely hear it but they say you aren't suppose to be able to hear it. Maybe because of the fact that it was in a hallway but yea thought that was crazy.
destroyed idiots Technically some bats use frequencies very close to what humans hear, so sometimes you can just barely hear them
...and therein is the mystery of the Bat-signal!
I thought everyone could hear the sound they make? I feel it at the back of my neck. Please tell me others can feel it too?
@@Sadboiialice omg yes it’s like a silver zap across my neck, it’s so hard to describe to my family who can’t hear it
I could hear bats up to my early teens. I'd describe the sound as tapping/scraping glass with a sharp nail.
David attenborough's voice calm me down 😍😍
That's batshit crazy
I didn't even _bat_ an eye at your pun
Oh my gosh, you two are waaaay too batty for my taste.
bats man bats
That pun was an echolohate crime
Bat pun.
"All creatures big and small."
I helped a confused Bat at work tonight. While making my rounds, ( I have to check on an area of chemical storage tanks and in a lower work area for storing smaller welding gas tanks and such, it's about 20 feet down to the bottom), but it is a seperate concrete "safety" zone. I saw a Bat flying around in circles in an odd pattern. While watching the Bat's erratic flying behavior, I realized it's sonar was off-TILT. The way the concrete chamber was built, there are multiple hard surfaces and angles that would just register as to what they are, a blank wall=No Prey. It couldn't find a way out and the more I watched, I realized the Bat was panicking, obviously the primitive feeling of being trapped. Hoping it would respond to noise, VIA sonar, I made noise above, cheering it and clanking on the metal railing with my keys. Whether it was my keys, voice, flashlight, or any combination, you could almost see the lightbulb go off in the Bat's head when it realized where I was. It decided to finally just fly UP and into the Night's sky, ready to eat mosquitos! I believe in helping all of GOD's creatures Big and Small, (except Mosquitos and Ticks, I draw the line there!)
Bats are such cute little mammals. I would absolutely love to hear one in real life
They’re pretty active at campgrounds around manmade lights. Don’t try to touch them though, they can carry rabies and that’s a bad way to go
The hours, and hours I have absorbed his documentaries and narratives defy description. Enriching my life and understanding of the natural world. Thank you so very much.❤
Salute Master Attenborough.. 🙏
The presenter has nerves of steel if he can narrate that calmly in a bat cave. I've been to one IRL and not only does it smell like you'd expect, but it also hurts your eyes because it feels almost acidic.
Wow so many baby bats , I like them .
Batman actually sounds like this instead of low growling grunting in the movies
Im more impressed that you have technology that makes the sounds visible as pulses of light in front of the bat you are filming!.. amazing.. thats more to brag about than pitch downconverting tech thats been around since the 1940s
Now I wouldnt do it in real life cause its mean..... but imagine making a really loud noise or yelling in that cave and then all those bats started freaking out flying everywhere. I'd die of heart attack
Pranking BATS! (Gone wrong)
@@rizkiramadhan9266 4 days ago woah! what u doing here mate?
@@Badsniperarmy I wanted to remind myself how bats sound
This bat chirp sounds like a hospital bhp monitor
I think it sounds like whoh whoh and whoh
He sounds like whinny the Pooh
*Winnie*
Yeah a relaxxed posh english accent
@@drips1030 David Attenborough is posh
oh dear 🍯🐻
Oh bother
Awesome! 👍
Holy David Attenborough, Batman!
I finally know what this guy looks like
Good keep going
I read online that bats are more related to humans than rodents, I'd never thought we'd have a flying primate.
Bats and rodents and especially humans are not related to each other
Actually bats are closely related to humans because if you look closely, their body resembles that of a human body because they have arms and fingers and feet and toes, plus the exact number of fingers and toes on a bat matches the number of fingers and toes on a human. Also, bats and humans share DNA as we do to monkeys.
Also bats argue just like humans.
I adore and feel this comment on a personal level, I refer to them as my siblings of the night.
@@jediskunk67 Arms, fingers and 5 digits on each limb is basal to all of Tetrapoda, not just to primates and bats.
Chiroptera (the bat order) is also only tangentially related to humans. It's actually more accurate to say humans and rodents are far more closely related to each other than either is to a bat. The two share entirely different superorders. If you looked at a cladogram, it would be easy to see the distance between the two.
Also, if bats _were_ to be more closely related to humans than rodents, that wouldn't make them primates.
@@jedihunter176 Thank you. All that other nonsense was causing me pain.
I know this place, it is the batcave where batman enters with his batmobile
Why did i feel uneasy and had a headache after hearing the bats
So that's how he looks like
I need help understanding my question. Please help. I was walking my dogs down a dark path and I hear what sounded like birds chirping. However, It was 9:45pm so I knew it must have been bats. I could not see anything but I heard them flying around and chirping and my dogs were acting different. But out of no where i heard this high frequency sound like a house alarm that has has gone off past the first minute, except it wasn't as loud but it was just as piercing through my ears... my question is how is it or why can i hear them using echolocation? I also hear high frequency sounds that machinery make, also sounds that are used to keep rats away from homes. The home owners say they cant hear anything and they tell me it is a device to keep rats away. But i can hear it too... and its very irritating.... help??? Or atleast where do i look for my answer?
I'm young (good ears?) and I often hear bats outside... I know I'm hearing them because the sounds are coming directly from where the bats are flying. My theory is that these ARE bat sounds, but not actual echolocation. I may be wrong, though...
Now that I think about it, I do have VERY sensitive hearing.
POOH! You sound like him
People (like me) watching in 2020 be like:
GET OUT OF THAT CAVE YOU WILL GET COVID-19
some people can hear really high frequencys . its a mutation and rare.
That poop is gold
It’s morbin’ time!
how echolocation and breathing of bats is sychronised??anyone tell me plz
Only when breathing out
Echo location is in pulses, not a continuous image
It's da freakin bat!!
i can hear bat echolocation sounds btw it sounds way more pitched and a bit resonating
Like ventriloquist tricks with the throat, etc
Were those lesser long eared bats?
0:16 didnt expect that lol forgot they poop too 💩
1:35
Bats Echolocation similar to airplane radar like TCAS.
If you're around a lot of batguana don't you need a suit or a breathing apparatus
Shikakaaaaa!!!
I love him, he fought for trans rights
imagine how much corona is up there
Nah, everyone knows bats only drink Heineken
Lol
Lol i only came across this vid cuz my science teacher made us watch it and now ppl are actually replying to my comment
Guannooooo- Ace
About how many times a minute do they make these sounds?
josh71111 buĺllllllllshitttttt. really?
One or more, probably.
Bats beep
Nom nom nom tasty bats

hi
Nigga imagine throwing a fucking c4 up there🤣🤣🤣
"Huge ears"? No, they have tiny little bat ears.
No, compared to their heads their ears are huge
xoAlmi tru
Then Why Do Bats Have Eyes?
They are active during daytime too, just not that much. Also it would be extremely difficult for them to devolve eyes. Just like moles, which live completely underground, havent completely devolved eyes
I know a lot of people who I’m hoping will be cockroaches in their next life……….
Wh wha wha whaaaattt??
Im 11 and I have a superpower I can hear very high pitch noises and at night I hear bats
Younger humans are capable of doing that. I went on a bat walk a few years ago and the guide said that some of the children there wouldn't need the bat detectors as much as the rest of us did. This is an ability you'll lose when you approach adulthood
@smithsonian Channel how about you show everyone the remains of ancient giants that you have been collecting from around the world and hiding...why?
My mother in law is a bat
Don’t they know about social distancing laws
Would those bats begin flying at the first sound a gun shot?

Now y'all got coronavirus.
Who's here from Chainsawman
Sounds like an owl.
Feels like this boomer is screwing with us and I can't take this serious. Way too chipper and sarcastic. You're in a batcave...not at a barbecue.
Bat caves stink, yuck
