🦇MTBC Bat Fact: Bats are quick learners with long memories. Frog-eating bats or fringe-lipped bats (Trachops cirrhosus) can identify frogs by their calls, can learn new calls in just minutes and remember them for an average of two years without further repetition. One bat can eat a number of frogs in a single night, having a major impact on frog courtship behavior.🐸 These bats quickly learn the calls of edible versus poisonous frogs and remember them for years.🦇💫​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​#helpingbat
