Bats the Night Hunters

Oct 10, 2024 | Blog | 0 comments

God has equipped the bat with echolocation for navigating the dark. The bat opens its mouth and sends out a high-pitched sound, which bounce off its surroundings, creating an echo that the bat can hear. These high-pitched sounds are created with the bats special designed larynx which can produce high-frequency ultrasounds. From the echo of these pulsing ultrasounds, bats can determine the distance, size, shape, surface texture, and speed of their prey. 

A bat’s ears are specialized to collect these high frequency sounds. The bat is able to turn on and off receivers in its ears that are sensitive to these specific wavelengths. After collecting these ultrasounds bats have the ability to, within a few thousandths of a second, build a mental image of the area mapping out their surroundings.
