Bats have 'greater vocal range than Mariah Carey', study finds
A new study has suggested that bats have a greater vocal range than singer such as Mariah Carey and Prince.
The winged mammals produce a range of frequencies that far exceeds humans in order to communicate with each other.
Bats surpass Carey’s extensive range by “using different structures in their larynx.”
