You know bats—the flighty mammals that find their way around with sonar and eat bugs and sometimes revert to their human form and live in a castle on a hill. But bats have a little secret I'd like to share with you: They can be astonishingly fast. As in, as fast as a car on a highway. This isn't a Halloween trick, because quite frankly I don't got time for that. So check out this week's episode of Absurd Creatures to learn more!
Find every episode of Absurd Creatures here. And I’m happy to hear from you with suggestions on what to cover next. If it’s weird and we can find footage of it, it’s fair game. You can get me at matthew_simon@wired.com or on Twitter at @mrMattSimon.
