The Bat That Cracked the Frog Code
Narrated by David Attenborough
In the Panamanian jungle 'batman' Merlin Tuttle has made contact with a strange intelligence - Trachops, the fringe-lipped bat. This space-age flying machine is equipped with an array of echo location and decoding devices as elaborate as any spy plane. Now, high-speed photography shows Trachops closing in with deadly accuracy to seize a croaking frog. Incredibly, it can even swim and launch itself vertically from the water surface.
