Bats in a traffic jam: This is how they manage to avoid colliding with each other during the mass exit from the cave

New research led by Tel Aviv University reveals how bats change their echolocation patterns when leaving the cave and maneuver with amazing skill even when surrounded by tens of thousands of their friends — without air crashes
