Bats have higher vocal range than humans

Bats have a better vocal range than humans, a new study has found. Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark filmed what goes on inside a bat's voice box and found that the animals use the same technique as singers when producing sound. Most of us have a range of about three octaves – and while some singers like Mariah Carey can reach a range of four to five octaves, bats can reach seven.
