Yes. Bats use their ears to hunt their prey. They do not, however, have eyes.
They certainly DO have eyes, as cann be seen by viewing any picture of bats. Their navigational system is called echo-locating .They emit a high-pitched squeak and locate prey from the bounced back sound.

∙ 13y agoOwls don't have big ears. They have holes in the sides of their head that serve as ears. You may be thinking of the ear tufts that many owl species have on top of their heads... these are not their ears.

∙ 14y agoBats use echolocation to see with their ears. They send out sound waves to see because they are blind. When a sound wave touches an object it goes back to the ears. It uses it's ears to determine if the object is food and go for the kill or Dodge the object completely

∙ 13y agowell, bats need large ears so they can hear and sense the echo's, since they use echolocation. Rabbits on the other hand need their large ears to sense predators, because they are fairly frail small animals that don't really have a way of fending of predators larger than themselves.

∙ 13y agoThey use their ears to listen for the echo of their high pitched calls and use the information to navigate in the dark and to find food.
Bats can't see well escpecially since they are nocturnal; they have to screech and listen to sound waves when they bounce off of a surface.So they know they aren't going to crash in to something.
