- This Tiny Bat Just Smashed a Decades-Old Record to . . . - ScienceAlert
Now, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany have found that Brazilian free-tailed bats, a tiny species of bat that weighs roughly 12 grams (about half an ounce), can reach a top speed of 160 km h (99 mph)
- Speedy Bat Smashes Speed Record
Yet, a new study suggests that Brazilian free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) may achieve speeds of up to 160 kilometers (99 42 miles) per hour in level flight This ranks this species of bats faster than any previously documented bird or bat in level flight
- Brazilian Free-tailed Bats Are Way Faster Than We Thought
The Brazilian free-tailed bat (Tadarida brasiliensis) is known to take quick, long-distance flights and held the record for a bat's fastest horizontal flight speed at 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour), so it was a good subject in testing flight performance
- Airplane tracking documents the fastest flight speeds recorded for bats
Here, we investigate flight behaviour in seven free-flying Brazilian free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) and report that the maximum ground speeds achieved exceed speeds previously documented for any bat
- Brazilian free-tailed bats are the fastest fliers - Science News
All seven reached almost 100 km hr when flying horizontally; one bat hit about 160 km hr Until now, common swifts held the record of fastest fliers, soaring at up to 112 km hr, often with
- Brazilian Free-Tailed Bat is Fastest Flying Animal, New Study Says
A study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science shows that the Brazilian free-tailed bat can achieve flight speeds of 100 mph (160 km per hour) — faster than those previously documented for any bat or bird
- Speedy bat flies at 160km h, smashing bird speed record
Brazilian free-tailed bats may have achieved speeds of up to 160 kilometres per hour in level flight, which would make them faster than any bird
- Brazilian free-tailed bat is the fastest flyer in the animal kingdom
However, the animal involved here is not a bird but a bat: the Brazilian free-tailed bat shoots through the night skies at over 160 kilometres per hour Their aerodynamic body shape and longer than average wings compared to other bat species enable them to reach such vast speeds
- How the Brazilian Free-Tailed Bat Reaches Incredible Speeds
The Brazilian free-tailed bat’s incredible speed is a testament to the wonders of natural evolution Through a combination of unique anatomical features, efficient flight mechanics, and adaptive behaviors, these bats have secured their status as one of the fastest mammals on Earth
- Brazilian Bats Shock Scientists By Reaching Record-Breaking Speeds
The Brazilian free-tailed bat is able to achieve its rapid speeds thanks to its aerodynamic body shape and longer-than-average wings, according to the release
