How Do Bats Land Upside Down? | National Geographic
Ойын-сауық
Bats have the heaviest wings, relative to overall body weight, of any flying animal. So it's long been a puzzle as to how they manage to maneuver so easily in tight spaces, quickly flipping over and coming to rest with their heads pointing downward. Researchers have analyzed the high-speed footage shown in this video and determined that bats use inertia to pull off these aerial acrobatics. Much like figure skaters who use this force to spin faster by bringing their arms closer to their body, bats use inertia at the moment of flipping over, pulling one wing closer to their body while the other is fully extended.

National Geographic is the only TV channel about science, geography and history that still holds some credibility. At least here in Brazil, Discovery Channel and The History channel became jokes.

I miss the old History Channel. R. Lee Ernie in Mail Call was a favourite, me and my dad kicking back and bingeing. Conquest was also a good one, "how too win at X." Casino episode was delightful, outright laughing at the slot machines "Don't expect too make money off a machine specifically designed to take it."
Absolutely fascinating. I always wondered about it in passing, genuinely got curious enough to look it up about ten minutes ago.
how amazing nature can do
その指と指の間に発達した皮膜の中の細い筋肉が翼をサポートしている。衝突しても瞬時に態勢を立て直せるのはこの翼のお陰。 こんな筋肉を持つ動物は、他には居ない。コウモリは力強く柔軟な翼のお陰で、鳥よりも早く飛べる事も有る。 「手で空を飛ぶコウモリ」
Like a *flip turn* in swimming \o/
fascinating ! I watch BATZILLA THE BAT' s vids on KZread = she's the best !
This as so unbelivably fasinating! Thanks! :)
I’m suprised this has so few views, This is the top search result for me, This feels like a question people would be asking at least kinda frequently and a video would be the best demonstration for an answer.
An answer to a question i didn't know i had
I love watching flying Fox in flight!
Just saw a bat doing something like this on the roof. Its so quick and loud.
「コウモリの翼」。コウモリは衝撃に対して一回羽ばたくだけで安定を取り戻すが、昆虫や鳥には不可能。鳥の翼は硬いため体制を素早く戻せない。一方コウモリの翼は関節が２４以上有り柔軟です。 翼の様に見えるのは「手」。親指以外の4本の指が翼の骨組みになっている。
Bats are so cool
IT is A acrobatics MOVE and I`d say they have known about this info for a long time via..note the word bat in the term acrobatics! LOL

@Hamzah Saddiq yup. Also a human's appendix.
Fact is there legs are actually backwards this is cause it's not it's like that bats can actually rotate there legs almost all around this is mostly cause the hip Bones are smaller alot smaller then ours
But can I ride one into Battle?
