A new scientific study has found that greater Japanese horseshoe bats adjust their echolocation calls to match the frequencies used by other members of their colony rather than attempting to avoid them.

According to the research, this shared frequency creates a clearer listening range for the animals. Researchers say the collective adjustment helps the bats detect prey more effectively despite competing sonar noise within their environment.
