Totally off topic, but, poking around on NPR I found this.
An excerpt:
| Quote | What wasn't known until recently is that the giant noctule may be the only bat that eats birds on the wing. Popa-Lisseanu thinks it starts when the noctules fly thousands of feet up into the night sky. Then they use radar calls to lock in on a migrating songbird beneath them. Then the bat swoops in for the kill.
"They wrap the prey between their wings and the tail membrane," Popa-Lisseanu says, "so they make kind of a cage for the bird."
She says the bats eat just the "most profitable parts" of the migrating bird, such as the breast, where birds accumulate fat and muscle. |
Of course, bats didn't do this til after The Fall.
