"Researchers ‘Translate’ #Bat Talk. Turns Out, They Argue—a Lot"
AKA, #bats are just like us:
"One of the call types indicates the bats are arguing about food.
Another indicates a dispute about their positions within the sleeping cluster.
A third call is reserved for males making unwanted mating advances
and the fourth happens when a bat argues with another bat sitting too close"
food, hierarchy, sex, and autonomy
the endless squabble
