Abstract

This story presents one of the most engaging pairings I have found in this series: a young pink dolphin with a bat. The former says to the latter Hey wonderful! I see that you are pregnant! The bat wonders how the dolphin knows, since the bat herself has learned only recently. It turns out that the dolphin sees inside other creatures with the radar system in its nose. With it the dolphin can see the bat's heart beating and stomach rumbling. By contrast the bat sees with her ears, using an echo-graphic system that sends back sound shaped like a picture. Fascinating!
