Yes, bats have a keen sense of smell that helps them navigate, find food, and communicate with each other. They use their sense of smell in combination with echolocation to navigate and locate prey in the dark.
How have bats improved technology?
Bats have improved technology by giving scientists the information they need for radar. These days a lot of radar technology has been coming out such as radar for a car, or even somebody who is blind who can use a radar walking stick or have something implanted in their head and make a noise to be able to tell where they are going.
Hoary marmots live near the tree line on slopes with grasses and forbs to eat.
**Hope this helps
Bats have a strong sense of hearing and use echolocation to navigate and locate prey. They also have a sense of touch, smell, and taste, which help them in finding food and interacting with their environment. Their vision is typically poor, but some species are able to see in low light.
What is the difference between bat reproduction and human reproduction?
Female bats have their own natural form of birth control. They can store sperm for fertilization at a later time or to delay implanting the sperm in the uterus. Amazing how creatures great and small were created! Humans do not have that capability except by birth control methods mainly through use of drugs.
If you look at something upside down will it be upside down in your eyeball?
Yes, when you look at something upside down, the image will be projected upside down onto your retina, located at the back of your eyeball. However, your brain is able to interpret the image and flip it right side up so that you perceive the object correctly.
Bats and humans are both mammals, but they are not closely related in terms of their evolutionary history. Bats belong to the order Chiroptera, while humans belong to the order Primates. Both groups have a common ancestor, but they evolved along separate paths over millions of years.
How sharp are vampire bats teeth?
Vampire bats have razor-sharp teeth that are specialized for making small, precise cuts in their prey's skin so they can feed on blood without causing much pain or alerting their host. These teeth are well-adapted for piercing blood vessels and lapping up blood.
Why do bats have eyes if they are born blind?
Bats are born with their eyes closed and begin to open them after a few days. Despite being born blind, having eyes allows them to see once their vision develops, aiding in navigation, finding food, and avoiding obstacles.
What would happen if bats were extinct?
If bats were extinct, there would be negative impacts on ecosystems worldwide. Bats play a crucial role in pollination, seed dispersal, and insect control. Their absence could lead to imbalances in insect populations, reduced seed dispersal for plants, and potential decline in agricultural productivity. Additionally, some bat-dependent species may face extinction due to loss of their main food source.
yeh... can't you see the size of that bats bollocks on the pic?
Both vampires and vampier bats both feed on blood -however bats rearly attack humans why?
Vampires -as is Dracula- are mythological creatures. You cannot compare their feeding habits with vampire bats! Vampire bats, as you mentionned, rarely feed on humans. But they can. However, cattle and other farm animals offer a much more accessible source of food to vampire bats.
Yes they do! Bats make sounds by moving air past their vibrating vocal chords. The echolocation sound has an extremely high pitch. A bat emits a sound wave and listens to the echoes that return to it. The bat's brain processes the information and by determining how long it takes a noise to return, the bat's brain figures out how far away an object is. This ability may help a bat tell where an insect is at any time of the day (usually night), and even how big it is.
Spotted bats are known to be non-migratory, meaning they typically do not undertake long-distance seasonal movements. They tend to stay in one area year-round, inhabiting caves and rock crevices in the western United States.
Rarely.
Depending on the species, bats feed on a variety of fruits, insects, small mammals, birds and even small reptiles and amphibians, but they do not drink human blood. Vampire bats do drink blood from birds and mammals, particularly livestock, as they are readily available.
However, if human prey is available, vampire bats will take the opportunity to drink their blood as they are mammals, too. They do not seek blood from the neck or veins, but are more interested in extremities - such as the big toe - where their tiny bite is less likely to be noticed.
Which species name means lives on the blood of other species?
The species name "sanguisuga" means lives on the blood of other species.
Why do some bats have large ears?
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.
What is the scientific name bat?
Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera. The name "Bat" alone has no scientific name.
Why do bats sleep up side down?
This is a defense mechanism. Since bats escape by flying, sleeping upside down allows them to rapidly drop and fly away if danger approaches while they are sleeping. If they were to sleep either lying on a surface or sitting on a floor, they would be much more vulnerable to predator during their sleeping hours. When bats relax, the weight of their upper bodies pulls down on the tendons connected to the talons and they clench closed. The weight of the bats keeps their talons closed, and the talon joint locks them into position. This system is so effective that, if bats die while roosting, they will continue to hangupside-down until something (or someone) shakes them loose
Why bats are blind do people say?
Contrary to the common myth, bats are not blind. They actually have well-developed eyesight, and some species can see in low light conditions better than humans. However, they also use echolocation as a navigation tool to "see" in the dark.
Why do bats sleep upside down and why do they sleep during the day?
Bats sleep upside down as it helps them take off quickly to escape predators or capture prey. They sleep during the day because they are nocturnal animals, meaning their most active time for hunting and feeding is during the night. This behavior helps them conserve energy and stay hidden from predators.
Bats use sonar, known as echolocation, to navigate their surroundings and find prey or avoid obstacles. They emit high-frequency sound waves that bounce off objects and return to the bats, providing information about the location, size, shape, and texture of the object. This helps bats to effectively hunt in the dark and fly with precision.
What is the scientific name of fruit bat?

please so my question's answer in my ID soon please
What is the name of a scientist who studies bats?
A Chiropterologist is a scientist who studies bats.
The order Chiroptera, includes 900-1,000 species of bats. The name comes from the Greek - cheir meaning 'hand', and pteron meaning 'wing.'
Why do bats swarm in a circle?
they don't.not mine anyways.i watch them come out in spurts that leave the underside of a bridge.they come out like clockwork.and! what i think is cool.. they get the heck separated asap. very hard to call them a swarm after about 200 ft .. they swarm out of the sleeping area then go mad flying all over the place. so they are only a swarm for a few seconds.. then they are more like a "cloud"..
