Want Super Powers? Just Watch Animals.

Loic Le Meur

Feb 4, 2023

Dolphins and bats don't have much in common, but they share a superpower: both hunt their prey by emitting high-pitched sounds and listening for the echoes.

They “see” without their eyes.

Even more interesting, they evolved in the exact same way: Bats and Dolphins Evolved Echolocation in Same Way (thanks, Massimo)

No need to be jealous about this “superpower”, we can do the same as shown in a study with blind people who quickly developed the same ability (French story, thanks Sidoine).

Want superpowers? Just watch animals and learn. No wonder why indigenous do it constantly.

I learned a lot too spending months in the Amazon jungle.
