On a road-trip across America, Liam Fox-O’Brien recorded hours of nature, factories, metals, and animal calls to discover what sounds lie just out of our reach. In LA. with the help of local biologists, Liam located a small population of Mexican wing-tailed bats near Long Beach and captured wild, primal, and detailed conversations between bats in mid-flight.
Known for their speed, Mexican free-tailed bats are the "jets" of the bat world. They can live up to 18 years old and are found in the western United States, south through Mexico, Central America, and into northern South America. They roost in caves, but will also choose attics, under bridges, or in abandoned buildings. They choose roosts near water, as it attracts the insects they eat and allows them the opportunity to drink.
