Japanese team have observed directly, for the first time, noctule bats hunting birds The images they provide astonishingly resemble that painted by Brueghel over 400 years ago... maybe he had actually seen the hunt!! Paper: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @ebdonana.bsky.social

Un cuadro visionario: Brueghel se adelantó 400 años a la ciencia y pintó un murciélago 'gigante' cazando un pájaro
Una investigación demuestra que el comportamiento depredador del nóctulo gigante, capaz de cazar pájaros en pleno vuelo, ya quedó inmortalizado en 1611 por el pintor flamenco Jan Brueghel el Viejo, si...

Greater noctule bats prey on and consume passerines in flight
Despite billions of passerines seasonally migrating during the night at high altitudes, only three bat species have been found to consistently tap into this rich prey resource. However, it remains unk...
