Bats use echo locating to hunt and navigate
Ranger Rick explains bats rely on echolocation, not vision, to find food. About 850 species inhabit global regions except polar areas and some islands. They fly with leathery wings, live in caves and attics, eat insects or fruit, migrate or hibernate, and keep clean by daily grooming and bathing.
