Best Answer

Bats have a sort of 'sonar', which enables them to detect objects before flying into them. The sonar also helps them avoid flying into each other, as well as helping them find their food, which is largely mosquitoes.

They use their echo-location by sending a click sound that is too high-pitched for humans to hear. It bounces back when it hits trees or other obstacles, and the bat then gathers the information and creates a picture of obstacles and prey.

bats use a sense called echolocation. not all bats have it. the fruit bat or the flying foxes don't have it. echolocation sends out squeaks or clicks through their mouth, but some like the leaf-nosed bats send out through their nostrils.


Echolocation and how it helps the planet?

I'm sorry, but this question doesn't make sense. Echolocation is useful for the animals that can use it. It is used for orientation, obstacle avoidance, hunting, communication. Bats, dolphins, and some shrews, rodents and birds are all animals that can use echolocation.


Does a sugar glider use echolocation?

No. Sugar gliders are not related at all to bats, which are mammals that use echolocation. Echolocation is only required by mammals which actually fly (or marine mammals). Sugar gliders and other members of the glider family are not capable of free flight - they glide.

No, some animals have different ways of hearing. An example is a bat, because bats come out at night, they cant really see well so the use something called echolocation which helps them find their way through the night.


Do bats have bad eyesight?

Contrary to popular belief, bats have a quite good eyesight, besides, they can rely on a very useful resource called 'echolocation', which is something like a natural sonar. They emit a sound and wait for the echo it produces on things, that way, they can calculate the distance things are away from them and avoid to crash on them.
