Absolutely. Humans do it too. But no, you find it really in nearly every taxonomic group. that you look at. And I think that the ones that we haven't found it in is just because we haven't looked hard enough yet. So this is the first study to our knowledge where we've looked at how eavesdropping predators acquire that specific behavioral strategy.

So I'm really hoping that the study spurs interest in all of the fantastic biologists all over the world who are interested in eavesdropping behavior. Because it would be really, really fascinating to see if the patterns that we're seeing with these bats are similar across other predators that eavesdrop on the communication signals of their prey.

All right, guys, to start us off, tell me all about these fiddler crabs that apparently do not fiddle.

Wait, wait. Okay, I just have to say, I'm taking bachata dance classes right now, and I am so intrigued by how few men have rhythms. So I'm very curious how this drumming works. These crabs have a rhythm. All right, what are the four stages of this courtship dance?

That's amazing. I mean, a guy who can dance and has rhythm definitely is sexy. So I would be drawn to this drumming crab.

Hard transition. We're going from seismic vibrations during crab courtship to growing chicken nuggets in a laboratory. Why are people trying to grow chicken nuggets at all?
