Most bats are blind, but others have eyes big enough that they can see just a little bit of light.

At night, bats use a specific alteration only available to them known as echolocation. Echolocation is the ability to emit high-pitched sound waves at a tree, building, mountain, etc. the sound waves bounce off the object and return towards the bat. The bat can then judge how far away the object is by how long it took the sound waves to return.

Many studies have been done on bats, and by using their echolocation, they seem to be able to slow down time itself and swing past the fastest of obstacles.

I have been by a cave entrance at dusk myself, and let me tell you, those bats were flying past us inches away from our head, but not brushing up against us at all. They did run into each other one or two times, but I think they were mating :)

The echolocation sound waves have been recorded at 137 to 108 decibels which is way louder and higher than what the human ear can hear.

Here is a photo I was lucky enough to take when we ran into the bats!
