Bats Use Radar Like Echoes For Navigation
Historical note explains bat navigation by high pitch sounds reflecting off walls akin to radar. Researchers Galambos, Griffin from Harvard showed bats emit notes heard after reflection, enabling wall avoidance. Hartridge later theorized short wave length calls are reflected by nearby objects guiding flight. Damage to a bat's ear impairs hearing and causes collisions.

Silage Raises Milk Vitamin A Compared With Hay
Department of Agriculture trials across states show milk vitamin A tracks carotene in feed. Winter milk is generally lower in vitamin A than summer milk due to reduced carotene in winter feed. Silage preserving alfalfa yields more milk and higher carotene, with cows on silage producing over 7 percent more milk than field cured hay and silage ending with about 14 times as much carotene as hay.
