This streaming video shows the hunting behavior of one species of bat, the woolly false vampire bat, Chrotopterus auritus, as it hunts down another species of bat, a frugivorous wrinkled-faced bat, Centurio senex, then kills and eats it. For some odd reason, this video reminds me of Wall Street [1:23]

Very cool.. but that narration is appalling: the false vampire isn't doing anything like 'blood drinking', it's just eating it.
Yes, very cool. I also think the narration is terrible. National Geographic seems to be slipping. I suppose now that they have their own channel they need to produce enough populist bilge to fill the airwaves.
