| Description | Adult females can be able to recognize odours of their own roost. They also explore the odours of roosts of their own species more intensively than that of other, although related species. But the juveniles probably are not able to discriminate between roosts. However, with the respect to the fact that bats are very social animals, it is possible that they learn this ability from the older ones. |
