As darkness descends, a pipistrelle bat awakens, embarking on a nocturnal journey. Using echoes to map her world, she hunts for food in the shadows. With dawn's approach, she returns to her roost, nurturing her baby before resting for another night. What secrets does the night hold for this skilled navigator?
