Description
Summary:	From the producers of the classic Night Stalkers, comes the incredible Phantoms of the night, a revealing look at bat behavior through high-tech tools and the eyes of the scientists using them. Through a thermal camera, we'll see hungry vampires stalking warm-blooded prey. Ultra slow-motion photography will capture a bat snatching a helpless insect from the air; micro transmitters attached to bats will enable us to watch them screaming through the forest and specialized bat-detectors will identify each bat by its unique sonic signature.
