I'm glad you joined my blog. I hope you are having a really good day.
Once when GrandDad was pushing Katie and I around Tallulah Lake just about sunset, there were some bats flying around. They flew very fast and were constantly swooping down so close that GrandDad said he thought they would land in his hair. I hear humans say that all the time but I bet that never really happens. Anyway, Katie was very quick to say, "Granddad, you don't need to be afraid of bats, they are our friends."
"How do you figure that, Katie."
"Well, you are always telling me you don't like mosquitos and bats are flying around like that so they can catch and eat as many mosquitos as possible. In fact, they might eat their weight in mosquitos and other bugs every night."
If you are wondering how they do that, it's because a bat sends out ultrasonic sound waves that bounce off their prey, telling the bat not only where the bug is, but what kind of a bug it is --- and all this happens in a fraction of a second. And you know what? Bats have been doing this since the beginning of creation. Man just figured out how to do it in the last century.
I guess humans have a lot to learn from animals.
Keep your chin up.
