trees.
Megachiroptera or big bats(also called flying foxes or fruit
bats) Microchiroptera or little bats.
4. Bat radar
The Microchiroptera all have quite small eyes. Although they
can see in bright light their eyes are very insensitive at night,
so the little bats darting around can hardly seewhere they are
going. When they are active the bats produce a steady stream of
very short sounds (not radio waves as in real radar) and listen for
echoes reflected from nearby objects.
5. Blind as a bat?
It is commonly believed that bats are unable to see at all, but
this is far from true. Nobat is completely blind,although some can
see better than the others.
