The bat emits a high picked squeek and picks up any of the sound waves that bounce back off objects - it works the same way as sonar.
Bats emit high-frequency ultrasound waves that bounce off objects in their surroundings. When the sound waves hit an object, they are reflected back to the bat. By listening to the echoes and the time it takes for them to return, bats can determine the distance, size, shape, and texture of the objects. This process, known as echolocation, helps bats locate their prey in the dark.
Ultrasounds are those sound waves that have a frequency that is higher than human hearing range that is above 20000 Hz. Bats produce these kinds of sound waves when they fly, this sound wave hits any obstacle(prey or enemy) in its path and gets reflected back to the bat (bcoz angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection). The bat senses the time taken for the sound wave to return and judges the distance of its prey or enemy. this help it to find its prey or enemy. Bats have this kind of adaptation because they donot have eyesight.
Echolocation is the term used to describe the process where a bat emits high-pitched sound waves and then listens for the echoes bouncing back from objects to navigate and locate prey in the dark.
Is cyclic sound pressure with a frequency greater than the upper limit of human hearing. Ultrasound imaging is a common diagnostic medical procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce dynamic images (sonograms) of organs, tissues, or blood flow inside the body.
Bats emit a type of biological sonar which we call echolocation. They let out a loud, high-pitched sound (often above the range of human hearing) which bounces off any obstacles in its way, and then returns to the bat in the form of an echo. These return waves tell the bat how far away the obstacle is as well as its size and shape. These bats have large ears which are very good at understanding the information brought back to them by the echoed waves of sound.
Usually its actually echolocation . But they use to hunt for prey ( their food ) .
Bats, as one may know, are blind, and to find it's prey (food) it causes ultrasound, which is invisible of course, imagine a wave, in the ocean, the waves hit something, and the wave is directed back to where it came from, and anything the wave does not hit, continues. That is how bats use ultrasound to hunt.
they listen out for sounds and the ultrasound hits the prey and comes back to the bat
It depends on how many of the prey you are referring to. Singular prey - the bat's prey is an insect Multiple prey - the bat's prey are all flying away
The bat uses their echoes of their cries to know where the prey is.
Bats use echo location, they track down sounds of prey by their sound waves.

Ultrasound sound waves
The bat-eared fox is predominantly an insectivorethat uses its large ears to locate its prey. 80–90% of their diet is harvester termites (Hodotermes mossambicus).
No it is not and its a Predator.
Disk-winged bats use echolocation to find their prey. The bat uses a high pitched sound that is reflected off of objects in its surroundings.
A bat's uropatagium is the part of its wing membrane that extends between its hind legs. It helps in maneuvering during flight and is used to catch prey or navigate in dark environments.
