The animal kingdom continues to offer up surprises even in recent times when things are growing more difficult for animals to survive. Researchers have recorded Blue Whales singing their complicated songs and a friend sent me a you-tube recording of crickets that sounded like angels singing,then I read about the Mexican/Brazilian Free Tail Bat's love songs. They are difficult for humans to hear but they have unique syllables they use to form phrases to attract females and warn other males away. They also studied baby bats and found them to babble much like human babies and repeat syllables until they get them right. Makes a person wonder what else we're missing in the world around us.
