Science can't improve on bat's bizarre nose

Scientists have been conducting a new study in an attempt to understand how the noses of horseshoe bats operate in producing sounds. Bats use echolocation to help them find their way around in the dark rather than relying on conventional senses.
A new study attempts to understand how bats' noses operate in producing sounds, and the purpose of the elaborate surrounding creases and grooves (called nose-leaves) which give the horseshoe bat such a scary visage."

Yep, they tried it out on Michael Jackson, but failed terribly, as we all know.

I'll take it one further: "Science" (mankind) cannot improve on nature.

I'll take it one further: "Science" (mankind) cannot improve on nature. thats a bold statement. Science has brought mankind from living like animals to space flight and super computers in a mere millenia! In fact, the last 100 years alone, have seen more changes to what we can do and how we live than the entire course of human existance before combined. Nature has had since the dawn of time to do what its doing! If nature was the horse and cart, science is the Bugatti Veyron!
