In the tropical forests of Central and South America lives a bat as discreet as it is deadly. Measuring just a few centimeters long, the fringe-lipped bat has perfected a hunting strategy that blends precision, intelligence, and patience. Instead of chasing random insects, it listens to the sounds of the jungle and locates its prey thanks to its exceptional hearing.
It owes its name to the fleshy protuberances around its mouth, which serve a sensory function.

Its brain filters out background noise and focuses on specific frequencies, granting it extraordinary auditory precision.
