When they cannot see insects, at night, they can still locate them by emitting a sound and listening for echoes coming off the insects, a process called echolocation. It also helps them to avoid flying into walls or other obstacles.

Bats with large ears have evolved this trait to enhance their ability to navigate and hunt using echolocation. The big ears help these bats detect and interpret sound waves more effectively, allowing them to locate prey and avoid obstacles in the dark. Additionally, the size of their ears can also help regulate body temperature and aid in communication with other bats.

The majority of bats eat insects, and thus help to protect plants by preventing insect populations from getting out of control. There are a number of other bats that eat fruit and pollinate flowers, and these help fruit trees reproduce. There are some exceptional bats that drink blood (three species of vampire bat) or catch fish (such as the greater bulldog bat).
