#FruitBats Have #Cognitive Abilities Previously Believed to Be Exclusive to #Humans, Research Finds. “We wanted to see whether the bats could tell that time had elapsed and behave accordingly. We found that after 1 day of captivity, the #bats would return to trees visited on previous night. However, when a whole week had gone by, older bats, based on past experience, avoided trees that had stopped bearing fruit in the interval." https://www.ecowatch.com/fruit-bats-cognitive-abilities.html #intelligence #future #oriented #behaviors
