Coen Elemans, researchers from the University of Southern Denmark, and colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania conducted a study about it and know that the secret ability of bats are there in super-fast vocal muscles he had.
Super fast muscle in bats have a very weak structure. However, it can contract muscles 100 times faster than normal human muscle and 20 times faster than the fastest muscle in humans that there is in the eye.
The discovery of super-fast muscle was published in the journal Science this week. Super fast muscle in bats is the first time found in mammals. Previously, super-fast muscle is only found in warbler, poisonous snakes, and several species of fish.
"I've been thinking, if it finds these muscles in mammals, certainly on the bat. If you hunt fast-moving prey and avoid you, it is very important to produce sound at a very high level," Elemans says as quoted by the New York Times, Friday (30/09/2011).
To arrive at the results of the study, Elemans record bat calls and determines when the call reached his ears. Elemans otrak found that bats can process signals faster dialing, up to 800 calls per second.
