Can bats see with their eyes really good?
at day yes
(do not listen to the person who answered above)
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!

How many diseases do vampire bats carry?
In South America you have the caves of calcium carbonate having stalactites and stalagmites. Millions of vampire bats inhabits the caves. They have very sharp teeth like hypodermic needles. When they bite the victim, sleep of the victim may not be disturbed. They have one deadly disease, as endemic disease in them, called as 'Rabies'.
Yes in fact irecommend that they brush after every feeding. You see brushing your teeth after eating food is OK so long as what you ate is non acidic and blood is not acidic ... so brush away my fine fanged friends.
Why do bats emit short pulses of ultrasound?
Bats are mostly blind so they cry (kind of a screaming/screeching sound), and then they can see the sound waves either bounce off of something that is blocking their way, or just keep going straight in front of them. Then they know weather to turn or go straight.
When can you get your first ultra sound?
Most doctors will send you for your first ultrasound around 8-12 weeks depending on the doctor and your medical history.... If you are bleeding early on you may be sent at 6-7 weeks. At 11-12 weeks you can have a nuchal scan which measures the thickness of the fold at the back of the neck for Down's syndrome, you will also have dating measurements done (if not done earlier) so you know your due date and the blood tests for abnormality can be done accurately. If none of these tests are being done you may not need a scan until 17-20 weeks when a scan is done to check the baby's legs, arms, spine heart, kidneys etc are normal. You may also be able to find out the sex of the baby at this point. It is not really necessary to have a scan at all but most women do have them done if they can afford them.
Yes, there are many species of bats and there are some bats in almost EVERY country around the world.

Is the Honduran white bat a megabat or microbat?
Despite the name, not all mega bats (megachiroptera) are larger than micro bats (microchiroptera). The major distinction between the two suborders is based on other factors.
Mega bats eat fruit, pollen, or nectar. They have a well-developed visual cortex and shows good visual acuity. Also, the sense of smell is excellant in these creatures. In contrast to micro bats, mega bats do not, as a rule, use echolocation (with one exception, the Egyptian fruit bat, which uses high pitched clicks to navigate in caves).
Micro bats use echolocation, whereas mega bats do not (except for Rousettus and relatives). Micro bats lack the claw at the second toe of the forelimb. The ears of micro bats do not form a closed ring, but the edges are separated from each other at the base of the ear. Micro bats lack under fur; the only have guard hairs or are naked. Micro bats eat insects, blood, small mammals, and fish.

You know, Bats cannot be measured in feet. They are too small. I think you meant 2.5 inches

You can find vampires in novels, books of folklore, movies, and TV series. Don't bother looking anywhere else as they don't exist.
No animals can not because, a Vampire's venom is extreamly deadly to all animals.
Is a bat a primary secondary or tertiary consumer?
It depends on the species of bat. Fruit bats, for example, will be primary consumers because they eat fruits (products of primary producers). Some bats eat insects or feed off of larger animals' blood, which would make them secondary consumers. There are even a few species that eat other animals, which could make them tertiary consumers. Basically, depending on the one you're looking at, it could be any of those.
