This Friday, November 23 around 8 p.m., applause rang out for a long time in the auditorium of the Montaigne media library, following the screening ofA life of a Greater Horseshoe Bat. It must be said that Tanguy Stoecklé’s documentary, devoted to bats and presented in partnership with the Permanent Center for Environmental Initiatives (CPIE) of the Bassin de Thau, is as informative as it is poetic. Also, the audience made up of adults and children left enchanted by this nocturnal epic in the company of these charming little monsters, including a particularly moving mother/daughter couple.
Spectators were also able to learn that after monkeys, bats are the mammals closest to humans (same number of legs, hands, phalanges, etc.), and that they have the second system of echolocation (ultrasound localization) the most advanced after dolphins, that their life expectancy (which can exceed 30 years) is strongly impacted by road traffic or that they have been threatened for a long time by the collapse of populations of insects due to the massive use of insecticides.
