Scientists find bats can call dibs on their food, warn rival bats to stay away It turns out we're more like bats that we ever imagined, for just as we can call dibs on the last slice of pizza, bats can call dibs on the bugs they're about to eat. MDConnects reports that biologists at the*University of Maryland have discovered that male brown bats can use a special sound k**wn as a*"frequency-modulated bout" (FMB) that lets nearby bats k**w that they've put in a claim on a particular piece of food and thus letting them k**w to stay away. Apparently this ultrasonic call is produced exclusively by flying male brown bats while foraging as the Scientists found female brown bats did **t emit any such sounds.
