In January 2014, host Emily Graslie accompanied Curator of Mammals, Bruce Patterson, on a field expedition into the bat caves of Kenya. In this second installment, the researchers collect bats at night. The next morning they release the captured bats and try to record the "sounds" made by the different species. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
