People have always been fascinated by bats, but the scope of that interest generally is limited to how bats fly and their bizarre habit of sleeping upside down. Until now, no one had studied how bats arrive at their daytime perches.

A Brown University-led research team is the first to document the landing approaches of three species of bats - two that live in caves and one that roosts in trees. What they found was surprising: Not all bats land the same way.

"Hanging upside down is what bats do," said Daniel Riskin, a postdoctoral researcher in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at Brown and main author on a paper reported in the Journal of Experimental Biology. "We've known this. But this is the first time anyone has measured how they land".

Using sophisticated motion capture cameras in a special flight enclosure, the team filmed each species of bat as it swooped toward a latticed landing pad and landed on it. Cynopterus brachyotis, a tree-roosting bat common in tropical parts of southeast Asia, executed a half-backflip as it swooped upward to the landing site, landing as its hind legs and thumbs touched the pad simultaneously - a four-point landing, the group observed.

The landing is hard, Riskin noted, with an impact force more than four times the species' body weight.........

Hey guys may be u know this facts but i heard it for the first time and i foundthem quite interesting.......

1>Starfish don't have brains.

2>An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

3>A crocodile cannot stick out its tongue.

4>The flea can jump 350 times its body length. That's like a human
jumping the length of a football field.

5>Some lions mate over 50 times a day.

Quality over quantity, you know?)

hey guys i'm back after a long time with some new infos. and yes MY XAMS R FINALLY OVER. Man these exams suck.
