Ah, bats

 I have to admit, I like bats. (And no, I don't blame them for the pandemic).

Bats, in general, are our friends as they eat biting insects.

And apparently, they know how fast sound is. Because, well, they have to. Scientists raised bats in a helium-rich atmosphere

Except, they can't actually change it. No matter what environment you raise them in, they think sound is the same speed.

It's hardwired into their little bat brains.

Makes us wonder what might be hardwired into ours...
