Echo-location.
Echo Location really is the answer
Bats rely on something called Echolocation to find and catch food at night.
the ears
Most bats catch prey using their ears through a process called echolocation. They send out a high pitch (high frequency sound) which is above the human hearing range, and this sound echos off of their surroundings. Their ears are designed to catch this echo, and then they process the echos to get a sort of "mental image" of their surroundings. See Related Links for more info.
Bats catch their food, (insects and small bugs) by using echolocation. The echo signals enable the bat to judge the whereabouts of the surroundings and form some sort of mental image of it.
because they relil on their smell to catch their food or prey and their incredible sight in the dark
What is good about bat ears is the they can pick up high frequency waves and they are useful for echolocation.
The kangaroo does not use its ears to catch anything. To begin with, the ears are not prehensile, and all they can do is rotate to listen carefully for predators. Secondly, very few species of kangaroos are anything but omnivores. No doubt the bettongs and musky rat-kangaroos which are omnivores use their ears to carefully listen for the movement of invertebrates, but that is completely the extent to which any kangaroo will use its ears for catching food.
Yes. Fisherman bats catch and eat small fish.
The way dolphins find food is by Echolocation. Echolocation means that an animal finds food by using sounds to find things, like bats

Bats that echolocate often have enormous ears to help them hear the echoes of their own clicks.
