But did you know others have a completely different way of hunting? They're called Whispering bats. Which of the frightening attributes below is your favorite??
And if you've ever had an encounter with a bat, tell us about it in the comments! Never heard of these whispering bats?
Check out their stealthy moves in this Deep Look video from our archives.

I came to work one day on the ground floor of a 4 story office building in Brentwood TN... and saw one of my fellow teachers (We have a little school on the first floor), holding the lobby door open to the outside world. She said that a little bat was soaring inside the multi story lobby and she was hoping it would leave unharmed. Just then, the tired critter landed on the floor and.....without thinking, I walked over, scooped it up in my hands, feeling its tiny heart beat, walked outside and let it go.... it flew off and it was one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had.
