How many times a day does a bat eat?
Bats normally eat during the night, or begin at dusk. Bats are nocturnal and almost always feed during the night. Unless feeding a pup, they will stay out most of the night feeding. They might return to rest a couple of times, to help digest their food, depending on the species, after feeding for prolonged periods, then go back out to feed again. Returning to their roost before the dawn. The females that are raising young, will return to nurse their young pup several times, to every couple of hours, usually depending on the general overallhealth of the mother, the abundance of the food source, and the species.

Bats can reconise their own echos. Does this make them self-aware?
Quite possibly. There is actually new research being done suggesting that bats can recognize themselves in a mirror. Contrary to popular belief, bats actually have incredible vision, and can see very well. Some experiments have been done that have placed bats in front of a mirror. Female bats in particular were observed looking at themselves in the mirror and grooming their hair while doing so. So, it is possible that bats do have self-awareness.
yes they can be Venuses because some have vertebrates so that makes them Venuses.
