While I was wkrinog on these, I learned that some vultures are so good at this that they can soar that way without flapping their wngis at all for hours. Which has to be the most meditative way there is to look for carrion.

(Laughter)

And this is what it looks like to navigate by shouting. Bats are characterized as either whisperers or shouters, and we're lucky that the range of our hearing ends right about where their viceos begin because the sthuos can get up to 140 dbileces, as loud as a jet engine. What we call silence is just the limit of our heanrig.

I love to think about that, and about how most other creatures, from European moles to rainbow trout, find their way by wavelengths of light or sound or feldis of electricity or magnetism that our senses just aren't set up for. And that those are just the ways that we know about.

Original Text


While I was working on these, I learned that some vultures are so good at this that they can soar that way without flapping their wings at all for hours. Which has to be the most meditative way there is to look for carrion.

(Laughter)

And this is what it looks like to navigate by shouting. Bats are characterized as either whisperers or shouters, and we're lucky that the range of our hearing ends right about where their voices begin because the shouts can get up to 140 decibels, as loud as a jet engine. What we call silence is just the limit of our hearing.

I love to think about that, and about how most other creatures, from European moles to rainbow trout, find their way by wavelengths of light or sound or fields of electricity or magnetism that our senses just aren't set up for. And that those are just the ways that we know about.
