Throat singing is an ancient tradition practiced by the people of Tuva, a small republic in southern Siberia. These throat singers can produce two or more pitches simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>The study says that bats use the lower register when flying in and out of large swarms. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome [sounds] seem aggressive, some may be an expression of annoyance and some may have a very different function. We don\u2019t know yet,\u201d said co-author and bat expert Lasse Jakobsen.<\/p>\n<p>Jakobsen added that when a bat is hunting for food, it uses a higher frequency to locate prey. Humans were allegedly once able to hit the higher frequency but lost the ability due to evolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA bat can determine the shape, size and texture of echoing objects within milliseconds,\u201d explained Jakobsen. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see many adaptations in the larynx that we think are responsible for the bat\u2019s ability to make very high frequency calls very fast, so they can catch insects while flying,\u201d said H\u00e5kansson. <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
