Searching for your child in a crowd can be stressful enough, but imagine trying to find them in a crowded, pitch-black cave. That’s not a problem for these “tequila” bat moms since they rely on their sense of smell to find their babies. The video show a mother bat moving over a cluster of babies to find her own. As soon as she’s in the cluster, the pup becomes agitated and directs its body to her. Once the mother sniffs out her pup, she licks it until it's latches onto her nipple.
National Geographic explorer Begoña Iñarritu studied these bats in the caves of the Sonoran Desert. Iñarritu suspects the pups may also recognize their mother, but it's unclear when newborns begin to recognize the scent of their mothers.

Searching for a child in a crowd is already difficult, so it's even more impressive that bat mothers can find their babies in the dark! What are your thoughts on this amazing ability?
I guess, this answers the question how the animal parents recognize their youngs. Much like how we recognize through facial features since our smelling capabilities isn't that advanced. Thanks for sharing National Geograpic.
*That's why Batwoman is more important for us than Batman*

Bats have a bad reputation for being scary creatures, but we agree that they are very cute! Also quite intelligent, considering they can find each other in the dark.
Awesome job

They truly are amazing, especially these bats! They are called "tequila" bats because they pollinate the agave plants used to make tequila.

Espantoso...O morcego vê na escuridão ...o seu sonar ... a ecolocação para evitar obstáculos ...Qual a palavra que responde a diversas perguntas sobre a sabedoria nos animais...e mais uma como é que espécies diferentes empregam o sonar??
