The largest bat is called The Malayan Flying Fox. The flying fox use their mouths and noses to send out high-pitched sounds, which bounces off its surrounding and prey. Bats pick up these echos with their ears. This process is called echolocation. Echolocation helps bats to find their way in the dark and pinpoint moving prey like moths. Bats that use echolocation do not have good eyesight, and they feed on insects, small mammals, lizards, or even fish.
