An outdoor enthusiast captured an extremely rare moment on video in the Katariina Valley – even a bat researcher was amazed

A bat waking from hibernation roared out into the spring sun and perched on a branch. Bat researcher Anna Blomberg, who saw the video, considers the observation unique.

Some humans like to consider themselves good at doing many things at once, but bats could do better. Many bat species have the ability to fly and drink water at the same time, but unlike people who try two simultaneous tasks, such as driving while sending text messages, bats never crash. Now, a new investigation reveals the physics behind this coordination feat.
