Abstract
⺠We trained Common vampire bats, Desmodus rotundus, to respond whenever they heard a tone. ⺠Thresholds were obtained at 30 frequencies from 250 Hz to 116 kHz ⺠At a sound pressure level of 60 dB, D. rotundus can hear from 716 Hz to 113 kHz ⺠D. rotundus is more sensitive to low frequencies than any other bat tested behaviorally but does not hear low frequencies as well as most mammals.
