Spectral bats, the largest 🦇 in the Americas, aren’t just fierce carnivores with up to one meter wingspan. New research from @MarisaTietge @MKnornschild Lab shows they hug, share food, play with bugs & huddle in “cuddle balls" doi.org/10.1126/science.zak6…
A rare glimpse into the secret social lives of these giants 🦇
