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)
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
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 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 Free-tailed Bat Like other species of the family Molossidae, Brazilian free-tailed bats have distinctive large, rounded ears that form a semicircle around the face and nearly meet on the forehead They are a fast flying bat and have been clocked at speeds up to 60 mph
