Bats are predators that can kill their prey in a far or near distance. I am just pizzled because their eyes are not that sharp to see their prey.

How can they survive in the wild?


What are their special characteristics?

At night the bat uses its hearing to navigate its way to prey. Bats catch insects continuously using echolocation, an advanced navigation system. The bat emits ultrasonic waves with very high frequencies. ... Their sounds are reflected in the environment, hitting various objects and returning to the bat as echoes.

I think it is a good characteristic that they can locate their prey. Echolocation is very useful for them to survive in this world.

As bats fly they make sounds. The reflection of the sound gives the bat information about anything that is ahead of them, including the size and shape of an insect and which way it is going. This system of finding prey is called echolocation

It is a great skill for them to catch their prey in this way. I am sure it is also applied to people who are deaf.

Deaf or you mean people who are blind. Deaf people can see but not hear.

As they fly they, make shouting sounds. The returning echoes give the bats information about anything that is ahead of them, including the size and shape of an insect and which way it is going. This system of finding prey is called echolocation - locating things by their echoes.

It is likely the answer. I am sure that they had the chance to catch their meals in a nick of time. Now, we do not need to attempt to eat bats. As it was claimed that the source of COVID-19.

Echolocation is the use of sound waves and echoes to determine where objects are in the space, and bats use this same technique to navigate and find prey in the dark.

When bats fly, they tend to make shouting sounds. It echoes back and give the bats information about anything that is ahead of them. They also get information about the size and shape of an insect and which way it is going. This is how they find their prey.

They hear ultrasounds,just like traveler birds,they know where obstacle are and theyr sens of direction and orientation is better than a regular view/hering sens of other animals.

They special frequency of ecos to detrimen their pray. It is also a way to communicate with others. The same system is used  in ultrasound machines to get an image.

The bat gauges the distance of its prey by measuring the interval betweem each echolocation  call and its returned echoes. It seems they are really good at these things.

During hunting time, the bat bat produce a constant stream of high pitched sound , when the sound waves produce by them hit an insect or animal, the echo bounce back to the Bat that guide it towards the prey

Bats use echolocation to locate and hunt prey. They emit high-pitched sounds that bounce off objects in their environment, and they use the timing and intensity of the echoes to determine the distance and location of their prey.

The time interval between cry and echo helps to determine the distance of the prey

Bats navigate and find insect prey using echolocation. They produce sound waves at frequencies above human hearing, called ultrasound. The sound waves emitted by bats bounce off objects in their environment.

Bats use a number of strategies to stay alive in the wild. They may use a advanced sense of direction to avoid being seen by their prey, or may use Webb's Syndrome, which is aike response where the bats use increased eardrums and furrowed whiskers to communicate their vicinity.

Bats use a sophisticated method called echolocation to determine the distance of their prey and other objects in their environment. Here's how it works:

1. Emitting Sound: Bats emit high-frequency sounds, often beyond the range of human hearing. These sounds are produced by the bat's larynx and are typically in the ultrasound range.

2. Sound Waves: The emitted sound waves travel through the air and bounce off objects in the bat's surroundings, including prey.

3. Receiving Echoes: When these sound waves hit an object, they bounce back as echoes towards the bat.

4. Analyzing Echoes: Bats have highly sensitive ears designed to detect these echoes. They listen to the returning echoes, which carry information about the object's distance, size, shape, and sometimes even its texture or motion.

5. Processing Information: Bats have specialized brain regions for processing the incoming echoes. They can determine the time it takes for the sound to travel to the object and back, which provides information about the distance.

By constantly emitting sounds and listening to the returning echoes, bats create a mental map of their surroundings. This allows them to locate prey, obstacles, and navigate in complete darkness. The accuracy of echolocation in determining the distance of prey is remarkable and is a crucial skill for a bat's survival.
