All bats are vocal, but some are more vocal than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chattiness reveals their individuality<\/a>, with more talkative bats acting more boldly, researchers report January 29 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B<\/em>. Bats might broadcast their personalities to others from a distance, which could play into social dynamics within a colony, the finding suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
