Bats Catch Migratory Birds and Eat Them in Midair

Scientists have documented the predation of a Songbird by the Greater noctule bat at high altitudes, revealing a new aspect of Bat and Bird interactions during migration.

• For the first time, the Greater noctule bat has been observed hunting and preying on migratory Bird species, showcasing a new level of Predation in the wild.
• The study highlights the vulnerability of Songbird species during their migration at night, where they previously believed to be safe from predators like the Bat.
• This discovery of Predation at high altitudes opens up new research avenues regarding the ecological dynamics between Bird and Bat species during migration.
