Yes, they do. There hearing ability is like sonar.
There put their butts in the air
They fly with their leather wings, their hearing helps them around and the old says "Blind as a bat" but bats haves very good eyesight.Bats use echolocation, or the use of high pitched sounds that bounce off of objects and allow bats to navigate. They find each other the same way they would catch their prey.
Bats can hear sounds in the ultrasonic range, typically between 20,000 Hz and 200,000 Hz. They use echolocation to navigate and hunt for prey using these high-frequency sounds.
Bats use echolocation as their primary system of hearing. They emit high-frequency sounds and listen for the echoes that bounce back, allowing them to navigate and locate prey in the darkness.
They do not see infrared light. Most bats are completely blind, using 'echo-location', ie radar, to "see" in the dark.
They use something called echolocation. When they send out sounds, the sounds will bounce off surrounding things and come back to the bat, showing it how far away things are. Obviously, things that are farther away will take longer to come back then closer things.
Echolocation
Yes, bats are known for their ability to hear high-pitched sounds because they use echolocation to navigate and hunt for prey. They emit high-frequency sounds that bounce off objects in their environment, allowing them to create a mental map of their surroundings based on the returning echoes.
Most mammals do not have the ability to use echolocation. The mammals that do are bats and dolphins. They use it to navigate and locate prey even when it is difficult to see (for bats, that is at night and in caves, and for dolphins, it is useful in the water when visibility is reduced.
Bats find their way around via echolocation because they are blind and cannot navigate like other animals.
They use ultra-sonic clicks to 'echo-navigate' their way around object. It works similar to a ships sonar, and is outside the hearing range of humans.
Bats and Dolphins both use sound to navigate.
